In this CAREER project funded by the Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Nathan Hammer of the University of Mississippi will study the fundamental chemistry of noncovalent interactions in condensed phases. Various sized aggregates of molecules displaying noncovalent interactions will be prepared in a variety of chemical environments, and they will be studied using vibrational spectroscopy and computational modeling. The educational plan focuses on integrating computational methods and experiment in all levels of physical chemistry curricula and includes a summer research program in physical chemistry. This work will enhance our fundamental understanding of nocovalent interactions in condensed phases. Such weak interactions play important roles in a range of chemical and biological systems and are emerging as central in systems-level control over complex biological processes.

在这个由化学系大分子、超分子和纳米化学项目资助的职业项目中，密西西比大学的内森·哈默将研究凝聚相中非共价相互作用的基础化学。 显示非共价相互作用的分子的各种大小的聚集体将在各种化学环境中制备，并且将使用振动光谱和计算建模来研究它们。 该教育计划的重点是将计算方法和实验融入各级物理化学课程，并包括物理化学夏季研究计划。 这项工作将加强我们对凝聚相中非共价相互作用的基本理解。 这种弱相互作用在一系列化学和生物系统中发挥着重要作用，并正在成为复杂生物过程的系统级控制的核心。
