Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Understanding the fundamental steps by which reactions take place is vitally important for developing new chemical systems. In this research, we will use unstable particles called muons to probe a catalyst which releases hydrogen. Muons react with our metal-containing chemicals in much the same way as hydrogen, but because of their characteristics of radioactive decay, it is possible to monitor the evolution of their spin when implanted within a sample, and thus gain information such as the addition site and reaction mechanisms. In these experiments, we will add muons to one of our catalysts in solution, which will enable us to gain new insight into how this molecule behaves.
