A Chemistry Departmental Multiuser Facility for Laser Spectroscopy and Photochemistry

激光为化学家和物理学家提供了利用大部分红外到紫外光谱进行高分辨率、高灵敏度实验的手段。如果将激光仪器合并为一个中央激光实验室，可以有效地加强一批顶尖研究人员的研究。普渡大学化学系将利用化学仪器计划的这一奖项来帮助获得现代激光仪器。通过收购将得到加强的研究领域包括：粘性液体和聚合物溶液中脱极性摩擦的瞬态三重态脱极化研究。四极离子阱中离子化学的研究气相中双带电过渡金属离子的光化学和光物理4。三原子自由基激发态结构与动力学的多共振光谱探针双核有机金属电荷转移态与CO2 6的反应性研究。流体溶液中无机化合物的双光子光谱研究无机杂合体与DNA结合研究生物有机与物理有机光化学早期过渡金属烷基及相关官能团的光化学研究电化学界面表面非增强拉曼光谱和共振拉曼光谱[j]。质子转移动力学：甲基转子作为质子转移态电子耦合的探针质子转移态的光谱探针

Lasers provide the chemist and physicist with the means of carrying out high resolution, high sensitivity experiments using most of the infrared to ultra-violet spectrum. If laser instrumentation is combined into a central laser laboratory, the research of a group of top-notch investigators can be effectively enhanced. The Department of Chemistry at Purdue University will use this award from the Chemical Instrumentation Program to help acquire modern laser instrumentation. The areas of research that will will be enhanced by the acquisition include the following: 1. Transient Triplet State Depolarization Studies of Depolar- ization Friction in Viscous Liquids and Polymer Solutions. 2. Ion Chemistry Studied in a Quadrupole Ion Trap 3. Photochemistry and Photophysics of Doubly Charged Transition-Metal Containing Ions in the Gas Phase 4. Multiresonant Spectroscopic Probes of Structure and Dynamics in Excited States of Triatomic Radicals 5. On the Reactivity of Binuclear Organometallic Charge- Transfer States with CO2 6. Two-Photon Spectroscopy of Inorganic Compounds in Fluid Solution 7. Inorganic Exciplexes and DNA Binding Studies 8. Bioorganic and Physical-organic Photochemistry 9. The Photochemistry of Early Transition Metal Alkyl and Related Functional Groups 10. Surface Unenhanced Raman and Resonance Raman Spectroscopy of Electrochemical Interfaces 11. Proton Transfer Dynamics: The Methyl Rotor as a Probe of Electronic Coupling to the Proton Transfer State 12. Spectroscopic Probes of Proton Transfer States
