Topic 6

Ultrafast Vibrational Spectroscopy of Proton Transfer Reactions

About the topic:

Proton transfer, one of the most fundamental and ubiquitous chemical processes, is highly dependent on the solvation environment. Although there has been active research regarding this process, there is still lack of understanding at molecular level. Using our continuum mid-IR spectroscopic technique, we can directly probe specific vibrational modes related to proton transfer dynamics which will provide better insight to the process.

What they are looking for in students:

Through this solvation student challenge program, we expect motivated physical chemists interested in time-resolved spectroscopy experiments. A prior experience with ultrafast laser would be appreciated but not mandatory.
