Reaction Kinetics and Mechanism of Chain Reactions and Explosions via Transient Spectroscopy

摘要

This is the final technical report for an Army Research Office Science and Technology Fellowship. The Fellow was Robert Ryther, a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry at Northwestern University. He worked under the direction of Professor Eric Weitz. His work involved the use of transient infrared diode laser spectroscopy to follow the reaction kinetics, photophysics and photochemistry of radicals and coordinatively unsaturated organometallic species. Transient infrared spectroscopy, Coordinatively unsaturated metal carbonyls, Vinyl radicals, T-butyl radicals. (jes)
