Physical Chemistry encompasses experimental and theoretical studies of the structure and dynamics of molecules and molecular materials. Research in Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics at Arizona uncovers the flow of energy and charge at the extremes of time and space, determines electronic and molecular structure of new or reactive species found in outer space or of relevance for catalysis, and probes the inner workings of the critical biological building blocks of life. At the focus of our efforts are questions of drug design, novel materials strategies to energy conversion and the origins of life on earth.
