Photochemistry and Photophysics of Multiply Bonded Phosphorus Systems

在该项目中，凯斯西储大学的Miriam C. Simpson教授及其研究生和本科生将研究含有多键磷原子的化合物的光化学和光物理学。这项研究的结果应该有助于化学家了解这些特殊化合物的键合特性，以及对多键的更深入理解。此外，辛普森教授和她的学生将致力于识别这些不寻常分子的有希望的候选分子，以便将其整合到设备中。辛普森计划继续在凯斯韦斯特大学发挥领导作用，努力扩大未被充分代表的群体在科学领域的参与，并努力发展创新的研究生和本科教育项目。

In this project, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Miriam C. Simpson of Case Western Reserve University and her graduate and undergraduate research students will investigate the photochemistry and photophysics of compounds containing multiply-bonded phosphorus atoms. The results of this research should help to inform chemists about these particular compounds' bonding characteristics, as well as provide a deeper understanding of multiple-bonding, in general. In addition, Prof. Simpson and her students will work towards identifying promising candidates of these unusual molecules, for the incorporation into devices.Prof. Simpson plans to continue to provide leadership at Case Western in its efforts to broaden participation by members of underrepresented groups in the sciences and in its efforts towards developing innovative graduate and undergraduate education programs.
