Water-Reorganization Around Non-Polar, Polar and Ionic Solutes. Multivariate Spectroscopy, Simulation and Theory.

在这个由化学系实验物理化学计划资助的奖项中，普渡大学的Dor Ben-Amotz教授和他的研究生将使用多元振动光谱，计算机模拟和液体理论研究水和其他分子之间的相互作用。该计划的目的是获得水氢键变化的分子详细视图，以及由非极性，极性和离子溶质引起的悬挂OH键的形成。这项工作将有助于对水在推动重要的生物、地质和环境过程中的基本认识和利用。除了研究对多个科学领域的广泛影响外，Ben-Amotz教授将继续为他的研究学生提供实验和理论方法方面的优秀培训。

In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Dor Ben-Amotz of Purdue University and his graduate research students will study the interactions between water and other molecules using multivariate vibrational spectroscopy, computer simulations and liquid theory. The aim of this program is to obtain a molecularly detailed view of changes in water hydrogen bonding, as well as the formation of dangling OH bonds, induced by non-polar, polar and ionic solutes. This work will contribute to the fundamental understanding and utilization of water in driving important biological, geological and environmental processes.Besides the broad impact of the research on several areas of science, Prof. Ben-Amotz will continue to provide his research students with excellent training in experimental as well as theoretical methods.
