In this project, supported by the Chemical Structure, Dynamics and Mechanisms Program (CSDM) of the Division of Chemistry, Prof. Dor Ben-Amotz of Purdue University and his graduate and undergraduate research students will use hydration-shell vibrational spectroscopy (especially Raman scattering spectroscopy), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and other experimental, computer simulation, and theoretical modeling strategies to address key questions pertaining to water-mediated processes occurring molecular interfaces, including how solute molecules influence water structure and how such structure changes influence water-mediated chemical interactions. The results will be use to better understand and predict how water participates in processes of relevance to the biological self-assembly as well as green chemical manufacturing, geological petroleum recovery, and environmental remediation. 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 the development and application of experimental and theoretical tools and innovation strategies.

在本项目中，普渡大学的Dor Ben-Amotz教授及其研究生和本科生将利用水化壳层振动光谱技术，（特别是拉曼散射光谱）、核磁共振光谱（NMR）等实验、计算机模拟，和理论建模策略，以解决有关水介导的过程发生分子界面的关键问题，包括溶质分子如何影响水的结构，以及这种结构的变化如何影响水介导的化学相互作用。研究结果将用于更好地理解和预测水如何参与与生物自组装以及绿色化学品制造、地质石油开采和环境修复相关的过程。除了对科学的几个领域的研究的广泛影响，本-阿莫茨教授将继续为他的研究学生提供实验和理论工具和创新策略的开发和应用的优秀培训。
