The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded the University of Missouri System $470,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop and apply spectroscopic methods for detecting short-lived reactive intermediates in low-temperature, supersonic flows. Professor Arthur Suits and his research team will advance two complementary experimental platforms: uniform-flow photoacoustic spectroscopy (UF-PAS) as a universal infrared detection method for monitoring reactive intermediates in cold supersonic flows, and chirped-pulse Fourier-transform millimeterwave spectroscopy to investigate vibrational and nuclear-spin-state-selected reactivity of radicals at low temperature. The work will reveal how vibrational energy, nuclear-spin symmetry, and molecular complexity influence reaction pathways in combustion systems, atmospheric chemistry, and interstellar environments, providing benchmarks for theoretical models and improving understanding of chemistry in diverse environments. The project includes interdisciplinary training for students and outreach activities to expand access to advanced spectroscopic techniques. Performance of the work occurs at Columbia, Missouri, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029. The assistance type is Project Grant.
