Molecular structures and dynamics at interfaces probed with heterodyne detected 2D SFG spectroscopy

在这个由化学系化学结构、动力学和机制（CSDM-A）项目资助的奖项中，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的Martin T. Zanni教授和他的研究生和本科生正在研究界面分子的化学结构。他们使用外差探测、二维和频率产生光谱来做到这一点。要研究的特定分子包括小的有机金属物种和生物分子。Zanni教授和他的团队工作的最终目标是开发强大的新方法来探测界面上复杂分子的结构和行为。界面在自然界中无处不在，包括细胞表面。开发只对地表化学物质敏感的实验方法对于更好地了解这种独特环境中的化学物质非常重要。在此过程中，Zanni教授将在物理化学领域建立一个强大的跨学科项目，并为技术队伍培养新一代的研究人员。

In this award, funded by the Chemical Structure, Dynamics and Mechanisms (CSDM-A) Program of the Division of Chemistry, Professor Martin T. Zanni of the University of Wisconsin - Madison and his graduate and undergraduate research students are investigating the chemical structures of molecules at interfaces. They do this using heterodyne detected, two-dimensional, sum-frequency generation spectroscopy. Specific molecules to be studied include small organometallic species and biomolecules.The ultimate goal of the work by Professor Zanni and his group is to develop powerful new methods to probe the structure and behavior of complex molecules at interfaces. Interfaces are ubiquitous in nature, including the surfaces of cells. The development of experimental methods that are only sensitive to chemical species at the surface has been important in developing a better understanding of the chemistry in this unique milieu. Along the way, Prof. Zanni will build a strong, interdisciplinary program in physical chemistry and will train a new generation of researchers for the technological workforce.
