The University of Utah will provide research services under a $515,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). Professor Michael Morse and his students will employ laser spectroscopy techniques to study the electronic structure, chemical bonding, and bond dissociation energies of small transition metal and lanthanide molecules. They will generate a molecular beam using laser ablation and measure bond energies and ionization energies to high precision using resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy and cryo-cooled ion photodissociation experiments. This work aims to provide accurate data to develop density functional theory computational methods for larger d-block and f-block systems relevant to catalysis and technology. Additionally, Professor Morse organizes a biannual workshop to present physical chemistry topics to high school teachers. The period of performance is from May 15, 2023 through April 30, 2026.
