Spectroscopy of Molecular Complexes

在这个由化学部门实验物理化学项目资助的项目中，Klemperer将研究相对强的结合分子复合物在基电子状态下的性质，但在10,000到15,000 cm-1之间的高能量范围内被激发。这项工作将为氢键分子配合物的势能面提供定量数据。将对He和H2形成的配合物进行研究，进行高能异构体的旋转光谱研究，并进行高泛音的光谱研究。这项研究将为氢键分子络合物的光谱学开辟新的领域。学生和博士后研究助理将参与这项工作。他们将接受高分辨率分子光谱学理论和实验技术方面的培训，为进一步研究或进入科学/技术队伍做准备。

In this project funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Klemperer will investigate the properties of relatively strong bound molecular complexes in their ground electronic state, but excited to high energies in the range between 10,000 and 15,000 cm-1. This work will provide quantitative data on the potential energy surfaces of hydrogen bonded molecular complexes. Studies will be performed on complexes formed with He and H2, the rotational spectroscopy of high-energy isomers will be carried out, and the spectroscopy of high overtones will be pursued.This research will develop new areas of the spectroscopy of hydrogen bonded molecular complexes. Students and postdoctoral research associates will participate in this work. They will receive training in theoretical and experimental techniques of high resolution molecular spectroscopy in preparation for advanced studies or entry into the scientific/technological workforce.
