Photodissociation Dynamics of Radicals and Molecules

光解动力学涉及研究支撑所有化学反应的基本化学过程。我们解决了这个领域中三个重要的悬而未决的问题：i)从小分子中学到的教训如何转移到更大的分子中？Ii)可以通过选择反应物的特定状态来控制化学反应吗？iii)自由基的动力学与稳定分子有根本的不同吗？我们将把大分子光谱学和光解动力学方面的专业知识与自由基生产的技术结合起来，以提供对这些基本问题的见解。光解动力学牢牢地植根于光子科学和技术。

Photodissociation dynamics involves studying fundamental chemical processes that underpin all chemical reactivity. We address three of the important unanswered questions in this field: i) how do the lessons learned from small molecules transfer to larger molecules? ii) can one control chemical reactivity by selecting specific states of the reactant?; and iii) are the dynamics of radicals fundamentally different to stable molecules? We will combine expertise in large molecule spectroscopy and photodissociation dynamics with technology in radical production to provide insight into these fundamental questions. Photodissociation dynamics is firmly embedded in photon science and technology.
