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

普渡大学的Dor Ben-Amotz教授和他的研究生将利用多元振动光谱、计算机模拟和液体理论来研究水和其他分子之间的相互作用，该奖项由化学学部实验物理化学项目资助。该程序的目的是获得水氢键变化的分子细节视图，以及悬垂OH键的形成，由非极性，极性和离子溶质诱导。这项工作将有助于在驱动重要的生物、地质和环境过程中对水的基本理解和利用。本-阿莫兹教授的研究将在多个科学领域产生广泛的影响，他将继续在实验和理论方法方面为他的研究生提供优秀的培训。

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.
