In this CAREER award, co-funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division and the Astronomy Division, Prof. Benjamin J. McCall of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and his graduate and undergraduate research students will study the spectroscopy of gas-phase carbocations. The main goal of this research effort is to obtain detailed structural and dynamical information for a family of simple carbocations. These molecular ions are ubiquitous in organic chemistry, serve as interesting test-cases for the study non-classical chemical bonding and complex intramolecular dynamics, and are suspected of being important chemical species in combustion and astrochemistry.Besides the broader impact of the proposed research to other scientific fields, Prof. McCall will develop a multifaceted, interdisciplinary educational program in astrochemistry. Prof. McCall will develop a new course in astrochemistry that will target students in both Astronomy and Chemistry Departments. In addition, he will develop a seminar series in astrochemistry, and he will co-organize a Midwest astrochemistry consortium.

在这个职业奖中，由化学部实验物理化学计划和天文学司共同资助，伊利诺伊大学，Urbana-Champaign的本杰明·J·麦考尔教授及其毕业生和本科生研究的学生将研究气体相碳化物的光谱。 这项研究工作的主要目的是为一个简单的碳水化合物获取详细的结构和动态信息。 These molecular ions are ubiquitous in organic chemistry, serve as interesting test-cases for the study non-classical chemical bonding and complex intramolecular dynamics, and are suspected of being important chemical species in combustion and astrochemistry.Besides the broader impact of the proposed research to other scientific fields, Prof. McCall will develop a multifaceted, interdisciplinary educational program in astrochemistry. 麦考尔教授将开发一门新课程的天体化学课程，该课程将针对天文学和化学部门的学生。 此外，他还将开发一个在大型化学上的研讨会系列，并将共同组织一个中西部的星体化学联盟。
