项目摘要

In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Division of Chemistry, Professor H. Floyd Davis of Cornell University, together with his graduate, and undergraduate students, will investigate the dynamics of how transition metal atoms insert into chemical bonds. The investigations will be carried in a crossed molecular beam. Prof. Davis will study how changing reactant translational or vibrational energy influences chemical reactivity. In addition to his research work, Prof. Davis proposes to continue his development of inexpensive spectrophotometers (ca. $50) for use in high schools, along with curricular materials to go with them.Transition metal-containing species catalyze a large number of industrial processes. The ultimate goal of research like that of Prof. Davis is to develop a better understanding of how metal atoms react in these processes. A better understanding of these reactions should lead to better processes. In addition to the broader impact of the proposed research work, Prof. Davis' work in developing rugged, inexpensive laboratory equipment will help to bring science experiments to schools, here and abroad, which operate with limited resources. The graduate and undergraduate research students supported on this award will also enter the technical workforce with superb training in chemistry, physics and modern laboratory science.

在该奖项中，康奈尔大学的H. Floyd Davis教授以及他的毕业生和本科生将研究过渡金属原子如何插入化学键的动力学，并在该奖项中，由化学系实验性化学计划资助。研究将在交叉分子束中进行。戴维斯教授将研究反应物转化或振动能量如何影响化学反应性。除研究工作外，戴维斯教授还建议继续开发廉价的分光光度计（约50美元），用于高中，以及与他们一起使用的课程材料。含金属的物种催化了许多工业流程。像戴维斯教授这样的研究的最终目标是更好地了解金属原子在这些过程中的反应。对这些反应的更好理解应导致更好的过程。除了拟议的研究工作的更广泛影响外，戴维斯教授在开发坚固的，廉价的实验室设备方面的工作将有助于将科学实验带到这里的学校和国外的学校，这些实验的资源有限。该奖项支持的研究生和本科研究学生还将通过化学，物理和现代实验室科学领域的精湛培训进入技术劳动力。
