项目摘要

In this project funded by the Chemical Structure, Dynamics and Mechanisms -A(CSDM-A) program of the Chemistry Division, Professor Andrei Sanov at the University of Arizona is using sophisticated laser techniques combined with a technique called photoelectron imaging to study chemical bonding. This research targets isolated molecules, as well as molecules undergoing chemical change or interacting with neighboring species. The broad objective is to uncover the principles and mechanisms by which all chemical matter binds together in progressively larger systems: from atoms to molecules, from molecules to molecular clusters and macromolecules, from monomers to polymers, and beyond. The nature of chemical bonding is defined by electrons and it is their behavior that controls the outcomes of chemical reactions. By capturing images of electrons ejected from molecular anions (molecules with an extra electron) interacting with laser light, Professor Sanov and his research group identify the fundamental interactions involved in the formation and dissociation of chemical bonds. This research defines a pedagogical framework for introducing students to quantum concepts. The program provides continuing training for undergraduate and graduate students, preparing them for advanced careers in academia, government labs, and industry. Quantum concepts have relevance to careers in computing, sensing, and cybersecurity. Prof. Sanov is continuing to develop photoelectron imaging (which he also refers to as "quantum photography") as a teaching tool for quantum concepts.The project focuses primarily on transient species, such as radical and diradical reactive intermediates, as well as complex reactive pathways involving several electronic states and/or spin-forbidden transitions. Examples of the specific systems studied include transient diradicals and the radical species of organic heterocyclics with important roles in atmospheric chemistry and combustion processes. In the experiments, the radical and diradical species are accessed by photodetaching electrons from the corresponding molecular anions. The freed electrons carry information about both the initial state of the anion and the final state of the resultant neutral molecule. This information is recorded spectroscopically, by imaging the photodetached electron distributions, generated in interactions of the mass-selected target anions with visible or ultraviolet laser pulses. Additional structural and dynamical insights are obtained from the quantum-state distributions of the nascent products observed in photodissociation reactions and in interactions of anions with solvent molecules. The results are interpreted with the help of electronic-structure calculations, enabling a comparison of observed quantum states with theoretical models. The broader impacts of this work include potential societal benefits resulting from increased knowledge of the structures and thermochemistry of reactive intermediates and an improved understanding of the general mechanisms of chemical bonding and reactivity. The project provides opportunities for the training of students in the design, construction, and operation of advanced instrumentation and complex theoretical analyses.

在这个由化学结构，动力学和机制-A（CSDM -A）计划资助的项目中，亚利桑那大学的Andrei Sanov教授使用了复杂的激光技术，并结合了一种称为Potelelectron Imaging的技术来研究化学键合。这项研究靶向分离的分子，以及经历化学变化或与邻近物种相互作用的分子。广泛的目标是揭示所有化学物质在逐渐更大的系统中结合在一起的原理和机制：从原子到分子，从分子到分子簇和大分子，从单体到聚合物，及以后。化学键合的性质是由电子定义的，正是它们的行为控制了化学反应的结果。通过捕获与激光光相互作用的分子阴离子（分子）弹出的电子图像，Sanov教授及其研究小组确定了与化学键形成和解离有关的基本相互作用。这项研究为向学生介绍量子概念定义了一个教学框架。该计划为本科生和研究生提供了持续的培训，为学术界，政府实验室和行业的高级职业做准备。量子概念与计算，传感和网络安全方面的职业相关。 Sanov教授将继续开发光电子成像（他也称为“量子摄影”）作为量子概念的教学工具。该项目主要集中于瞬时物种，例如激进和肮脏的反应性中间体，以及涉及多个电子状态和/或自旋 - 固定过渡的复杂的反应式途径。研究的特定系统的示例包括瞬态径向和有机杂环的自由基物种，在大气化学和组合过程中具有重要作用。在实验中，通过从相应的分子阴离子的光修复电子来访问自由基和肮脏的物种。释放的电子携带有关阴离子的初始状态和所得中性分子的最终状态的信息。通过对质量选择的靶阴离子与可见或紫外线激光脉冲的相互作用产生的光电环节电子分布来对该信息进行光谱记录。从光解离反应和阴离子与溶剂分子的相互作用中观察到的新生产物的量子状态分布获得了其他结构和动态见解。结果是在电子结构计算的帮助下解释的，从而可以比较观察到的量子状态与理论模型。这项工作的更广泛的影响包括增加了对反应性中间体的结构和热化学知识的潜在社会利益，以及对化学键合和反应性的一般机制的提高理解。该项目为学生在高级仪器和复杂理论分析的设计，构建和运作中培训学生提供了机会。
