Magnetic Resonance Studies of Intermolecular Interactions in Environmental Matrices

拟议的研究旨在解决在分子水平上了解环境中污染物行为的需要，并将侧重于三个研究领域：(1)了解小分子亲水性有机化合物与环境基质结合的机制；(2)天然有机物的超分子结构在陆地环境中发生非理想吸附行为中所起的作用，包括污染物的保留和解吸；以及(3)开发核磁共振作为探测环境中污染物行为的工具的实际应用。

The proposed research is designed to address the need for a molecular-level understanding of contaminant behaviour in the environment and will focus on three research areas: (i) understanding the mechanisms through which small hydrophilic organic compounds associate with environmental matrices; (ii) the role that the supramolecular structure of natural organic matter plays in the occurrence of non-ideal sorption behaviour in terrestrial environments, including the retention and desorption of contaminants; and, (iii) the development of practical applications of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) as a tool to probe contaminant behaviour in the environment.
