This Presidential Young Investigator Award given in the Organic                 and Macromolecular Chemistry Program provides support for the                   work of Dr. Peter Chen, Harvard University. This work is                        focused on exploring the applications of gas-phase laser                        spectroscopy to solve fundamental problems in organic reaction                  mechanisms.                                                                                                                                                     Isolation of transient reaction intermediates under                             collision-free, low temperature conditions will be carried out.                 Particular attention will be given to thiazolium ylides,                        antiaromatic hydrocarbons, and halocarbenes. Powerful                           spectroscopic tools based on mass spectroscopic and                             photoelectron detection will be used to examine these species.                  Not only important structural information, but thermodynamic                    and spectrosopic characteristics will result. These studies                     will delve deeply into the structure of reactive intermediates                  and the chemical and physical processes leading to them.
