Molecular and Magnetooptical Spectroscopy (Chemistry)

这项实验物理化学补助金支持Paul N. Schatz教授在实验和理论光谱学方面的研究。他目前的研究项目旨在满足对分子、离子、混合价和自由基的基态和激发态的基本电子结构信息的需求。这些信息需要用于测试这些系统的理论模型，并帮助解释它们的化学性质和反应性。PI还率先在基础化学研究中使用同步加速器光源。在即将进行的研究中，Schatz博士将使用磁性圆二色性、吸收和发射光谱来研究基质分离物种，在宽光谱范围内，从近红外约1500nm到可见光和紫外线约120nm的真空紫外线。基于同步加速器的真空紫外测量将使用自包含的矩阵隔离超导磁系统进行。混合价物质将从理论上研究，“有机金属”的混合价前体将从光谱上研究。

This grant in Experimental Physical Chemistry supports research of Professor Paul N. Schatz in both experimental and theoretical spectroscopy. His current research program is designed to meet the need for basic electronic structural information about the ground and excited states of molecular, ionic, mixed-valent and radical species. This information is needed to test theoretical models of these systems and to help interpret their chemical properties and reactivities. The PI has also pioneered in the use of the Synchrotron light source in basic chemical research. In forthcoming research Dr. Schatz will use magnetic circular dichroism, absorption and emission spectroscopy to study matrix isolated species over a wide spectral range from about 1500nm in the near infrared through the visible and ultraviolet to about 120nm in the vacuum ultraviolet. Synchrotron based vacuum ultraviolet measurements will be conducted using a self-contained matrix isolation superconducting magnetic system. Mixed-valence species will be studied theoretically and mixed-valent precursors of the "organic metals" will be studied spectroscopically.
