In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Division of Chemistry, Professor H. Floyd Davis of Cornell University, together with his graduate, and undergraduate students, will investigate the dynamics of how transition metal atoms insert into chemical bonds. The investigations will be carried in a crossed molecular beam. Prof. Davis will study how changing reactant translational or vibrational energy influences chemical reactivity. In addition to his research work, Prof. Davis proposes to continue his development of inexpensive spectrophotometers (ca. $50) for use in high schools, along with curricular materials to go with them.Transition metal-containing species catalyze a large number of industrial processes. The ultimate goal of research like that of Prof. Davis is to develop a better understanding of how metal atoms react in these processes. A better understanding of these reactions should lead to better processes. In addition to the broader impact of the proposed research work, Prof. Davis' work in developing rugged, inexpensive laboratory equipment will help to bring science experiments to schools, here and abroad, which operate with limited resources. The graduate and undergraduate research students supported on this award will also enter the technical workforce with superb training in chemistry, physics and modern laboratory science.

在这个由化学系实验物理化学项目资助的奖项中，H。康奈尔大学的弗洛伊德戴维斯和他的研究生、本科生将研究过渡金属原子如何插入化学键的动力学。 研究将在交叉分子束中进行。 戴维斯将研究如何改变反应物的平移或振动能量影响化学反应性。除了他的研究工作，戴维斯教授建议继续他的廉价的温度计（约。50美元），沿着教材，供高中使用。含过渡金属的物种催化大量的工业过程。 像戴维斯教授这样的研究的最终目标是更好地理解金属原子在这些过程中的反应。 更好地理解这些反应应该会导致更好的过程。 除了拟议的研究工作的更广泛的影响，戴维斯教授在开发坚固，廉价的实验室设备的工作将有助于把科学实验带到学校，在这里和国外，这与有限的资源运作。 该奖项支持的研究生和本科生研究生也将进入化学，物理和现代实验室科学的精湛培训的技术劳动力。
