Physical Chemistry and Spectroscopy

HRSMC research theme 2

In this HRSMC research theme light is used to probe as well as utilize fundamental processes, such as

  • reaction mechanisms and dynamics;
  • catalytic events;
  • energy and electron transfer;
  • conformational dynamics; and
  • dynamic life processes.

Concurrently advanced spectroscopic techniques are used to elucidate inter- and circumstellar chemistry, and for analytical applications.

Participating research groups 

Many of the groups working in this area are renowned for their development and application of new spectroscopic techniques. Although academic research in spectroscopy is rather widespread in The Netherlands, the photochemical and photophysical research of inorganic and organic compounds in gas and condensed phases is more and more confined to groups within the HRSMC.
