This grant in Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry provides                     research support for Dr. Robert Rosenfeld, University of                        California, Davis. The research focuses on studies of the                       energy distribution of products in organic fragmentation                        reactions. Such studies are important because understanding the                 distribution of energy allows predictions to be made that could                 bring about a more efficient use of energy sources. Such                        studies also provide data which allow the testing of a variety                  of theoretical models of energy transfer and distribution.                                                                                                      The technique of time-resolved infrared laser spectroscopy will                 be used to study the photodissociation dynamics of polyatomic                   molecules in the fragmentation of various classes of molecules                  (ketones, sulfoxides lactones). The deposition of energy in the                 products' vibrational, rotational, and translational degrees of                 freedom will be monitored using cryogenic lead-salt diode laser                 sources.  A central aspect of the proposed work is the analysis                 of reaction dynamics across a homologous series of compounds.                   Thus, the extent to which classical mechanistic schemes have                    bases in the microscopic aspects of reactivity will be studied.                 Additionally, the PI will apply the method of time-resolved                     laser spectroscopy to observing new reactive intermediates and                  metasable species in metal carbonyl systems and characterizing                  the reactivity and thermochemistry of these species.
