Femtosecond Diffraction and Spectroscopy of Chemical Reactions

Abstract

In the past five years, we have proposed to use this grant to undertake research in the following areas: 1) Direct imaging of structural changes using ultrafast electron diffraction. 2) Neutral and ionic elementary reactions: high energy and solvation effects. Our goal was to relate these dynamics to features of bonding and mechanisms and to explore the influence of high energy and solvation of reactivity. Theoretical studies in our group and in collaboration with colleagues elsewhere are an important part of this research.
