This grant in the Organic Dynamics Program supports the                         research of Dr. Matthew Platz at Ohio State University. Dr.                     Platz will continue to investigate the spectroscopy and                         reaction mechanisms of transient intermediates such as                          radicals, polyradicals and carbenes.                                                                                                                            His work will emphasize chemical and physical methods including                 laser flash photolysis and low temperature matrix isolation                     spectroscopy.  A principal goal will be to measure the kinetics                 of reactions of alkyl, dialkyl and aromatic carbenes.  These                    studies will test dynamical theories of chemical reactions                      which have entropic but no enthalpic barriers.  He will test                    for the presence of reversibly formed intermediates in the                      reaction of carbenes with olefins and nucleophiles.                             Spin-forbidden reactions of triplet carbenes with singlet                       reagents will be examined in detail.
