Chemical Structure, Dynamics and Mechanisms: The Chemical Structure, Dynamics, and Mechanisms Program supports basic, transformative experimental and theoretical research directed toward elucidating electronic and molecular structure, structure-activity relationships, dynamic interactions at the molecular level and chemical reaction mechanisms. The program is particularly interested in hypothesis-driven or exploratory research projects that address grand challenges in the field of chemistry including, for example, understanding the principles of chemical reactivity in homogeneous, heterogeneous and interfacial systems and the use of advanced computational and spectroscopic techniques to address chemical systems at the limits of temporal and spatial resolution. The program supports studies that focus on the dynamic behavior and chemical reactions of molecules and atomic and molecular clusters, in the gas, liquid, and solid phases. Specific examples include studies of the dynamics of photochemical reactions and charge transfer processes and studies aiming to understand and control light-matter interactions at the molecular level. The program also supports the use of experimental, modeling and computational techniques to probe the orientation, interactions and reaction mechanisms of molecular species on surfaces and at other interfaces.
