With this award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program supports the work of Professor Richard G. Weiss of Georgetown University. This research will involve a multidisciplinary investigation of static and dynamic molecular interactions in micro-environments of anisotropic materials. Diverse analytical techniques will be required to collect the pertinent data. Information collected over selected temperature and pressure ranges will be used to establish correlations between changes at the molecular and macro levels. A primary objective of the coordinated studies is to obtain comprehensive pictures of how the materials respond internally to a range of different externally-applied perturbations, how the materials affect internal probe molecules, and to what extent the materials can be employed to influence the properties of embedded guest molecules.The broader impacts of this research include the training of young scientists, including undergraduates and those in underrepresented groups and from developing countries. The PI has established collaborations with scientists in several developing countries and will use them as part of the students' education about how science is performed in less developed environments and the challenges that face the U.S. to help development. Further, the students will be exposed to a very broad spectrum of multidisciplinary research and will be given opportunities to attend scientific conferences and to present their research results. Although the approach to the research will stress 'fundamental' discoveries, there will be practical implications and potential for developing new materials and demonstrations of potential utility for industrial purposes are planned.

有了这个奖项，有机和高分子化学计划支持教授理查德G。乔治敦大学的韦斯。 本研究将涉及各向异性材料微环境中静态和动态分子相互作用的多学科研究。 收集相关数据需要各种分析技术。 在选定的温度和压力范围内收集的信息将用于建立分子和宏观水平变化之间的相关性。 协调研究的主要目标是获得材料内部如何对一系列不同的外部施加的扰动做出反应的全面图片，材料如何影响内部探针分子，以及材料可以在多大程度上影响嵌入的客体分子的性质。这项研究的更广泛影响包括年轻科学家的培训，包括大学生和代表性不足的群体以及来自发展中国家的人。 PI已经与几个发展中国家的科学家建立了合作关系，并将其作为学生教育的一部分，了解科学如何在欠发达环境中进行，以及美国在帮助发展方面面临的挑战。 此外，学生将接触到非常广泛的多学科研究，并将有机会参加科学会议，并介绍他们的研究成果。 虽然研究方法将强调“基础”发现，但将有实际意义和开发新材料的潜力，并计划展示用于工业目的的潜在效用。
