Photochemistry and Photophysics of Multiply Bonded Phosphorus Systems

本研究由化学系实验物理化学计划资助，由北京大学化学与物理系教授Miriam C.凯斯西储大学的辛普森和她的研究生和本科生研究生将研究含有多键磷原子的化合物的光化学和光物理。 这项研究的结果应该有助于化学家了解这些特定化合物的键合特性，并提供对多重键合的更深入理解。 此外，Simpson教授和她的学生将致力于确定这些不寻常的分子的有前途的候选人，以纳入设备。Simpson教授计划继续在凯斯西方提供领导，努力扩大科学中代表性不足的群体的成员的参与，并努力开发创新的研究生和本科生教育计划。

In this project, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Miriam C. Simpson of Case Western Reserve University and her graduate and undergraduate research students will investigate the photochemistry and photophysics of compounds containing multiply-bonded phosphorus atoms. The results of this research should help to inform chemists about these particular compounds' bonding characteristics, as well as provide a deeper understanding of multiple-bonding, in general. In addition, Prof. Simpson and her students will work towards identifying promising candidates of these unusual molecules, for the incorporation into devices.Prof. Simpson plans to continue to provide leadership at Case Western in its efforts to broaden participation by members of underrepresented groups in the sciences and in its efforts towards developing innovative graduate and undergraduate education programs.
