In this project, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Thomas D. Varberg of Macalester College and his undergraduate research students will investigate the visible and far infrared (THz) spectroscopy of a series of transition-metal containing free-radical molecules. The ultimate goal of these studies is to probe the fine and hyperfine structure of the spectra of these high-spin species. The results of these studies will provide details of the electronic structure of these difficult-to-study molecules. In addition, the frequencies will be of use in identifying the presence of these molecules in astronomical objects.Besides the potential broader scientific impact of the proposed research, Prof. Varberg will continue to provide his undergraduate research students with valuable research experience, which will help them to pursue careers in science and technology.

在这个由化学系实验物理化学计划资助的项目中，Macalester学院的Thomas D.Varberg教授和他的本科生将研究一系列含有过渡金属的自由基分子的可见光和远红外(THz)光谱。这些研究的最终目标是探索这些高自旋物种光谱的精细和超精细结构。这些研究的结果将提供这些难以研究的分子的电子结构的细节。此外，这些频率将用于识别这些分子在天文物体中的存在。除了拟议的研究可能产生的更广泛的科学影响外，Varberg教授还将继续为他的本科生提供宝贵的研究经验，这将有助于他们在科学和技术领域追求职业生涯。
