Simple models for the structure and dynamics of polyatomic fluids

Creator:: James, Corinne Patricia
Abstract:: Three areas of liquid state theory are considered. First, Monte Carlo computer simulation of a two-dimensional hard disk fluid with an imbedded ellipse was undertaken to determine how a non-spherical molecule affects intermolecular ordering. The elliptical molecule (with axial ratios of 2, 5 and 10) altered the isotropic distribution of...

The synthesis and spectral properties of 2,4-dioxabicyclo [3.3.1] nonanes

Creator:: Provant, Stephen Glenn
Abstract:: 3-Methyl-2,4-dioxabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane and 7-hydroxy-3-methyl-2, 4-dioxabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane were synthesized by the method of Croxall, Glavis and Neher, although in low yields. The structure of both compounds was proven by analytical methods and analysis of their spectral properties. Tentative configuration of C-3 in both compounds was assigned on the assumption...

Zero kinetic energy photoelectron spectroscopy of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Creator:: Zhang, Jie
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I present electronic spectra of a few polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): tetracene, pentacene, pyrene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene and benzo[a]pyrene using resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) and zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy. The work of tetracene and pentacene also combine a laser desorption source with a ZEKE spectrometer, demonstrating...

High resolution spectroscopic studies of ³²S¹⁶O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁶O₃

Creator:: Barber, Jeffrey
Abstract:: The two sulfur isotopomers of sulfur trioxide, ³²S¹⁶O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁶O₃, have been studied via high resolution infrared and Coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS) spectroscopy. The v₁ symmetric SO stretching Q-branches observed by the latter are quite different, being especially complex for ³²S¹⁶O₃ Understanding this band structure required analysis of infrared-active hot...
