The Experimental Physical Chemistry program of the Division of Chemistry supports the research of James A. Phillips and undergraduate research students at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire. Phillips and his students will extend their previous experimental and theoretical research on a novel class of nitrile donor-acceptor complexes, whose gas-phase structures undergo significant changes in the solid state or in solution. The primary experimental technique employed will be low-temperature infrared spectroscopy in inert condensed-phase media, e.g. solid neon or argon. These measurements will be combined with theoretical calculations of the gas phase structures to provide insights on the impact of the condensed phase environment on the structural properties of these complexes. Phillips and his group will target systems that might be incorporated into supramolecular assemblies and other nano-scale structures. These systems may offer pathways for inducing motion in such structures via external stimuli, ultimately leading to novel nanotechnology applications. The research will be enhanced by ongoing collaborations with computational chemists at the University of Minnesota and the Kodak Corporation. These projects will expose University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire undergraduates, many of whom are first-generation college students, to a broad range of modern spectroscopic and theoretical techniques.

化学系的实验物理化学项目支持了詹姆斯·A.菲利普斯和本科研究生在威斯康星州-欧克莱尔大学。 菲利普斯和他的学生将扩展他们以前的实验和理论研究的一类新的腈供体-受体复合物，其气相结构在固态或溶液中发生显着变化。采用的主要实验技术将是在惰性凝相介质，如固体氖或氩中的低温红外光谱。这些测量结果将与气相结构的理论计算相结合，以提供对这些复合物的结构特性的凝聚相环境的影响的见解。菲利普斯和他的小组将目标系统，可能纳入超分子组装和其他纳米尺度的结构。 这些系统可以提供通过外部刺激在这种结构中诱导运动的途径，最终导致新的纳米技术应用。这项研究将通过与明尼苏达大学和柯达公司的计算化学家的持续合作得到加强。这些项目将使威斯康星州-欧克莱尔大学的本科生（其中许多人是第一代大学生）接触到广泛的现代光谱和理论技术。
