In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Richard J. Saykally of the University of California - Berkeley and his graduate student colleagues will continue their study of the spectroscopy of water clusters. These studies will use long-wavelength radiation to probe clusters of from two to five water molecules. The experiments will be carried out with close collaboration with theorists in order to develop better interaction potentials for describing the intermolecular interactions in water. Water is a uniquely important substance, yet much remains unknown about the precise molecular interactions that take place between individual water molecules. The work of the Saykally group aims to build up accurate and precise models of these interactions which may then be used by others to model the important chemistry that takes place in aqueous media. In addition to providing scientific training to his research students, Prof. Saykally continues outreach through his numerous public lectures and through other venues (e.g. the recent film/book/website series "Sacred Balance," which includes a section featuring Prof. Saykally and his work on the nature of water.)

在这个由化学系实验物理化学计划资助的奖项中，加州-伯克利大学的Richard J. Saykally教授和他的研究生同事将继续他们对水分子团簇光谱的研究。 这些研究将使用长波长辐射来探测2到5个水分子的团簇。 实验将与理论家密切合作，以开发更好的相互作用势来描述水中的分子间相互作用。 水是一种独特的重要物质，但关于单个水分子之间发生的精确分子相互作用仍然未知。 Saykally小组的工作旨在建立这些相互作用的准确和精确的模型，然后其他人可以使用这些模型来模拟在水介质中发生的重要化学反应。 除了为他的研究学生提供科学培训外，Saykally教授还通过他的许多公开讲座和其他场所（例如最近的电影/书籍/网站系列“神圣的平衡”，其中包括一个以Saykally教授和他对水的性质的工作为特色的部分）继续推广。
