This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program, the Ohio Laboratory for Kinetic Spectrometry and the Center for Photochemical Sciences at Bowling Green State University will acquire ultrafast spectroscopy instrumentation. The instrumentation comprises an ultrafast amplified laser system, two optical parametric amplifiers covering wavelengths from the deep ultraviolet to the infrared, as well as new pieces of apparatus for vibrational spectroscopy to be used with existing laser systems. The infrastructure will be used to advance a number of research projects in the chemical, biological and materials sciences: 1) high quantum efficiency coordination polymers for OLED applications; 2) ultrafast electronic dynamics in Pt(II) acetylide complexes; 3) proton-coupled electron transfer in chemical and biological systems; 4) single-molecule chemical imaging of interfacial electron transfer; 5) organic reaction mechanisms; 6) electronic dynamics in metal - peptide nanoassemblies; 6) solution organic photochemistry; and 7) photoaffinity labeling tools for the study of complex biological systems and nucleic acid damage. In addition, the instrumentation will be made available to a broad range of external users as part of the impressive photochemical user facility at Bowling Green State University. Young scientists working at the facility will have exposure to cutting-edge spectroscopic instrumentation, helping them gain expertise with an important class of research tools.Photochemistry is the study of the interaction of matter with light, and the subsequent distribution of the absorbed energy into a material. Photochemical infrastructure, like that supported in this award, helps scientists better understand how materials interact with light. This has profound implications in a wide variety of important areas -- from the conversion of sunlight to electrical energy to the damage of DNA by ultraviolet light. A better understanding of photochemistry helps society better harness the beneficial nature of the light-matter interaction, while mitigating its harmful aspects.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。有了这个来自主要研究仪器（MRI）计划的奖项，俄亥俄州动力学光谱实验室和鲍林绿色州立大学光化学科学中心将获得超快光谱仪器。 该仪器包括一个超快放大激光系统，两个光学参量放大器，覆盖从深紫外到红外的波长，以及与现有激光系统一起使用的新的振动光谱仪器。 该基础设施将用于推进化学，生物和材料科学的一些研究项目：1）用于OLED应用的高量子效率配位聚合物; 2）Pt（II）乙炔化物络合物中的超快电子动力学; 3）化学和生物系统中的质子耦合电子转移; 4）界面电子转移的单分子化学成像; 5）有机反应机理; 6）金属-肽纳米组装体中的电子动力学; 6）溶液有机光化学;以及7）用于研究复杂生物系统和核酸损伤的光亲和标记工具。 此外，仪器将提供给广泛的外部用户，作为令人印象深刻的光化学用户设施的一部分，在保龄球绿色州立大学。 在该设施工作的年轻科学家将接触到尖端的光谱仪器，帮助他们获得一个重要的研究工具类的专业知识。光化学是物质与光的相互作用，以及随后吸收的能量在材料中的分布的研究。 光化学基础设施，就像这个奖项所支持的，帮助科学家更好地了解材料如何与光相互作用。 这在许多重要领域都有深远的影响--从太阳光转化为电能到紫外线对DNA的破坏。 更好地理解光化学有助于社会更好地利用光-物质相互作用的有益性质，同时减轻其有害方面。
