This project is in the general area of analytical and surface                   chemistry and in the subfield of mass spectrometry.  With the                   support of his previous NSF grant (CHE-8406387), Professor                      McLafferty has developed a new technique, neutralization-                       reionization mass spectrometry (NRMS), with which reactive                      neutral gas phase species can be prepared and characterized.  The               goal of this experimental program is to now exploit NRMS for the                fundamental study of the behavior of reactive positive and                      negative ions in neutralization and reionization processes and to               develop analytical mass spectrometric techniques which utilize                  this novel approach to ion formation.  The results of this                      research should enhance our understanding of the behavior of                    energetic neutral molecules which can be used in the production                 of new materials by plasma and beam processing techniques and                   could give rise to the development of new instrumentation for                   analytical mass spectrometry.
