With this award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program supports the work of Professor Howard E. Zimmerman of the Chemistry Department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI. This research will use a combined experimental and theoretical approach to investigate the mechanisms of organic photochemical reactions. Studies will be focused on the important areas of solid state host-guest photochemistry, photochemically generated diradicals, and the photochemistry of heterocycles. An important unifying theme of these studies is the use of computational studies to complement experimental studies in an effort to analyze photochemical reactions in terms of conical intersections and avoided-crossings. These studies will provide important tests of the power of computational methods to unravel the complex chemistry of excited state species.The research will lead to a greater understanding of the way in which photochemical reactions occur. The extension of these studies to the solid state will provide fundamental knowledge that will have long-range impact in green chemistry and solar energy research. Many of Professor Zimmerman's collaborators have gone on to productive academic careers and it is anticipated that this trend will continue.

有了这个奖项，有机和高分子化学计划支持教授霍华德E。麦迪逊的威斯康星州大学化学系的齐默尔曼说。 本研究将采用实验与理论相结合的方法来研究有机光化学反应的机理。研究将集中在固态主客体光化学，光化学产生的双自由基，和杂环的光化学的重要领域。 这些研究的一个重要的统一主题是使用计算研究，以补充实验研究，努力分析光化学反应的锥形交叉和避免交叉。这些研究将对计算方法的能力提供重要的测试，以解开激发态物质的复杂化学过程。研究将导致更好地了解光化学反应发生的方式。 将这些研究扩展到固态将提供基础知识，这将对绿色化学和太阳能研究产生长期影响。 齐默尔曼教授的许多合作者已经开始了富有成效的学术生涯，预计这一趋势将继续下去。
