Dr. Bierbaum is supported by a grant from the Experimental                      Physical Chemistry Program to study the reactivity, mechanism                   and product distributions of ion-molecule processes as a                        function of translational energy.  She has been instrumental in                 the design and construction of a new and very powerful                          apparatus which is capable of making sensitive high resolution                  measurements of ion kinetic energy distributions.  These                        experimental techniques provide a firm foundation for a better                  understanding of chemical reactivity at a molecular level.                                                                                                      The newly developed instrument which is known as a Tandem                       Flowing Afterglow-SIFT-Drift apparatus provides exceptionally                   high sensitivity, resolution and chemical versatility for the                   study of ion-molecule reactions in the gas phase.  The new                      instrument will be employed to study a variety of chemical                      systems comprising five areas of investigation: 1) Studies                      involving reactivity, mechanisms and product distributions of                   ion-molecule processes as a function of translational energy;                   2) Kinetic isotope effects in reactions of alkyl halides; 3)                    Relaxation and reaction of vibrationally excited ions; 4)                       Generation and characterization of novel negative ions; and 5)                  Studies of ion-plasma processes.  These studies will provide                    kinetic, mechanistic and thermochemical data for a wide variety                 of important ion-molecule reactions.
