In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Caroline C. Jarrold of Indiana University and her graduate and undergraduate student colleagues will investigate the electronic structure and chemical reactivity of small molybdenum oxide-based mixed metal clusters. The primary goal of these experiments is to understand catalytic activity on a level that could ultimately lead to improved selectivity, efficiency and stability of catalyst materials. Transition metal oxides are important in a wide range of industrially important catalytic processes. Improving the performance of these catalysts can have profound impacts in improving processes, making them more energy efficient, reducing wasteful byproducts, etc. The eventual outcome provided by the kind of basic research that Prof. Jarrold and her students are pursuing will be improved materials for catalysis. In addition to the broader societal impact of Prof. Jarrold's research work, she will continue her many and varied efforts to support women in the sciences.

在该奖项中，由化学系实验物理化学项目资助，印第安纳大学的 Caroline C. Jarrold 教授及其研究生和本科生同事将研究小型氧化钼基混合金属团簇的电子结构和化学反应性。 这些实验的主要目标是了解催化活性，最终提高催化剂材料的选择性、效率和稳定性。 过渡金属氧化物在许多工业上重要的催化过程中都很重要。 提高这些催化剂的性能可以对改进工艺、提高能源效率、减少副产品浪费等产生深远影响。Jarrold 教授和她的学生所追求的基础研究的最终成果将是改进催化材料。 除了贾罗德教授的研究工作产生更广泛的社会影响外，她还将继续做出多种努力来支持科学界的女性。
