Biography
Tim Wright has been working in the field of spectroscopy covering electronic and photoelectron spectroscopy since 1988. He has used both conventional and laser-based methods. Interests have covered hydrogen-bonded complexes, metal-rare gas complexes, NO-containing complexes and more recently trying to systematize the vibrational labelling in substituted benzenes. His work has always been underpinned by appropriate quantum chemical calculations and these often provide the foothold that allows the assignment of the spectra. Recent focus has been on understanding couplings between vibrations, torsional and vibration-torsions in simple molecules that contain the key features of nucleic acid bases: these interaction underpin intramolecular vibrational redistribution (IVR) and impact on photostability and chemical control.
