This research, part of the Experimental Physical Chemistry                      Program, uses the techniques of infrared, Raman, and                            fluorescence spectroscopy to obtain energy levels and potential                 energy surfaces for cyclic and bicyclic molecules.  Other areas                 of study include intermolecular interactions in liquids and                     vibrational energy levels of metal clusters.  These studies                     will elucidate chemical bonding and intramolecular forces, both                 in the ground and excited states of the systems studied.                                                                                                        Far infrared, Raman and Fluorescence spectroscopy will be used                  to study the energy levels of cyclic, four, five and six                        membered rings, bicyclic species and cyclohexene-like                           molecules.  These data will be interpreted to yield potential                   energy surfaces for these species.  Raman difference                            spectroscopy will be used to obtain small frequency shifts in                   isotopic mixtures of liquids in order to understand                             intermolecular interactions.  Infrared and Raman matrix                         isolation spectra will be obtained for prototypical metal                       clusters in order to determine the vibrational force fields for                 these molecules.
