Atmospheric and interfacial reaction dynamics

在过去的资助期间，我们在与水、冰和“城市尘垢”表面的异质大气化学有关的几个领域取得了重大进展。我们已经开发了用于确定界面pH值的荧光探针，并使用这些来跟踪那里的反应;我们已经证明了掠射角拉曼探针的冰面灵敏度，并开始使用这些来询问准液体层;我们已经量化了各种单层有机涂层对空气-水界面臭氧化反应的影响;我们已经开始探索和量化发生在界面处的光化学反应，特别是光敏化反应。在许多（如果不是大多数）这些努力中，我们是第一个报告该技术或其在大气化学中的用途的小组。

Over the past funding period we have made significant progress in several areas related to heterogeneous atmospheric chemistry of aqueous, ice and "urban grime" surfaces. We have developed fluorescent probes for determining pH at interfaces and used these to track reactions there; we have demonstrated the ice-surface sensitivity of glancing-angle Raman probes and started to use these to interrogate the quasi-liquid layer; we have quantified the influence of various monolayer organic coatings on ozonation reactions at the air-water interface; we have started to explore and quantify photochemical and especially, photosensitized reactions occurring at interfaces. In many, if not most of these endeavours, we have been the first group to report the technique or its use in atmospheric chemistry.
