项目摘要

With support from the Chemical Measurement and Imaging Program in the Division of Chemistry, Professors Schwarz and Altman at Yale University are developing a new approach for the visualization and characterization of single molecule surface chemistry. This new approach is allowing the groups to control each step of a reaction using the tip of a scanning probe microscope where the specific and unique reaction pathway is chosen at will. Professors Schwarz and Altman are using this technique to study the interactions responsible to drive the reaction and to ultimately reveal the influence of nearby surface defects or other molecules. The research outcomes are opening new venues to study surface chemistry and catalysis. Professors Schwarz and Altman are using carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bond formation to illustrate the power of the technique. These bond formation reactions are fundamentally importantly and could have great impacts to the chemical and petrochemical industry. Professors Schwarz and Altman are using their research outcomes to reach out to the general public.Professors Schwarz and Altman are developing a high-resolution tool to locally map energy landscape between an adsorbed molecule and the surface underneath, with the aims of quantifying energy minima for specific chemical bond formation or dissociation and subsequently manipulating single molecule surface chemistry at will. Specifically, they are (1) further developing their atomic force microscopy technique to quantify the interaction between the tip and a sample, and map potential, forces, and currents in three dimensions; (2) using the developed technique to study adsorption of aromatic molecules and hydrogen, and manipulate their chemical behaviors; and (3) testing the technique with local creation of benzyl radicals and formation of associated products.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在化学测量和成像计划的支持下，耶鲁大学的施瓦茨和奥特曼教授正在开发一种新的方法，用于可视化和表征单分子表面化学。这种新方法是允许各组使用扫描探针显微镜的尖端控制反应的每个步骤，其中随意选择了特定和独特的反应途径。 Schwarz和Altman教授正在使用这项技术来研究负责推动反应的相互作用，并最终揭示附近表面缺陷或其他分子的影响。研究结果正在为研究表面化学和催化的新场地开放。 Schwarz教授和Altman正在使用碳氢和碳碳键形成来说明该技术的力量。这些债券形成的反应在根本上是重要的，并且可能对化学和石化产业产生重大影响。施瓦茨教授和奥特曼教授正在利用他们的研究成果与公众接触。专业人士Schwarz和Altman正在开发一种高分辨率工具，以在吸附的分子和下面的表面之间局部绘制能源景观，以量化能量为最小的能量的目的特定的化学键形成或解离，然后随意操纵单分子表面化学。具体而言，它们是（1）进一步开发其原子力显微镜技术，以量化尖端和样品之间的相互作用，并在三个维度上绘制电势，力和电流；（2）使用开发的技术研究芳香族分子和氢的吸附，并操纵其化学行为；（3）通过本地创建苄基自由基和相关产品的形成来测试该技术。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持的。
