The Experimental Physical Chemistry program supports the collaborative research projects of Professor Leah O'Brien at Southern Illinois University and Professor James O'Brien at the University of Missouri, St. Louis. The O'Briens and their students will use high-resolution electronic spectroscopy to study platinum- and palladium-containing radicals in the gas phase. Absorption spectra will be obtained using an intracavity laser spectrometer located at the University of Missouri, St. Louis. Visible and near-infrared emission spectra will be recorded using the Fourier transform emission spectrometer at the Kitt Peak McMath-Pierce Solar Observatory. These high-resolution spectroscopic studies will be complemented by theoretical calculations to understand the details of the electronic structure and bonding in the transition metal systems. These species are characterized by open shell structures, which give rise to a host of interactions between nuclear, electronic, vibrational, and rotational degrees of freedom. The work will lead to a deeper understanding of metal-ligand interactions and potentially provide insight on metal-catalyzed reactions. This collaborative project between researchers at a primarily undergraduate institution and a major research university will train undergraduate and MS level graduate students in the techniques of contemporary experimental and theoretical spectroscopy. The project also contains an outreach program that will allow talented high school students to participate in the research.

实验物理化学计划支持南伊利诺伊大学莉亚·奥布赖恩教授的合作研究项目，以及圣路易斯密苏里大学的詹姆斯·奥布莱恩教授。 奥布林人及其学生将使用高分辨率的电子光谱学在气相研究含铂和钯的自由基。 吸收光谱将使用位于圣路易斯大学密苏里大学的腔内激光光谱仪获得。 可见和近红外发射光谱将使用KITT峰McMath-Pierce太阳能天文台的傅立叶变换发射光谱仪记录。这些高分辨率的光谱研究将与理论计算相辅相成，以了解过渡金属系统中电子结构和键的细节。 这些物种的特征是开放的壳结构，这些结构引起了核，电子，振动和旋转自由度之间的许多相互作用。 这项工作将导致对金属配体相互作用的更深入了解，并有可能对金属催化反应的见解。主要是本科机构的研究人员与一所主要研究的研究人员之间的合作项目将培训本科生和MS级别的研究生，以当代实验和理论光谱学技术。该项目还包含一个外展计划，该计划将允许才华横溢的高中生参加研究。
