Short-lived molecular species, which are out of reach for conventional techniques such as NMR, can be detected by 2D-IR and their structure and dynamics can be analyzed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The programme starts in\u00a001.06.2012<\/span> for a duration of\u00a04 years.
