Abstract

Chemistry at the molecular scale played a major role in recent exciting scientific developments such as computing the architecture of molecules, watching atoms dance, and preventing the crises of atmospheric chemistry. The activities of the ULB-infrared spectroscopy research group is aimed at developing high-resolution type instrumental and methodological means to investigate the internal structure of complex molecules, undress reaction mechanisms and, simultaneously, provide reference information required to quantitatively probe the composition of atmospheres. The common ground supporting our activities is the investigation, at high spectral resolution, of the energy, shape and intensity of spectral lines and bands, from the far- to the near-infrared spectral ranges. High resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy is extensively applied to unravel the spectra of ever more complex and highly vibrationally excited molecules, helped by a variety of means including near infrared laser investigations.
