This $495,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry will fund research into cryogenic ion spectroscopy studies of ion-receptor interactions in water-soluble molecular recognition complexes and their hydrated clusters. The grant supports work by Professor J. Mathias Weber and team at the University of Colorado Boulder from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025.

The research focuses on characterizing the structures and intermolecular forces governing molecular recognition of negative ions through infrared spectroscopy measurements of ionic complexes consisting of anions and synthetic receptors. It will also examine the interaction of these complexes with water molecules. Findings aim to advance understanding of the role of solvent in receptor-ion interactions and aid development of predictive methods for designing synthetic ion receptors. Broader impacts include outreach activities and educational simulations to teach advanced chemistry topics. The work aligns with the goals of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing fundamental knowledge in these fields.
