This grant, in Experimental Physical Chemistry, supports research of            Dr. Robert Weisman, who has developed the technique of transient                coherent Raman spectroscopy to directly study excited state processes           in organic molecules.  These experiments enable important photochemical         and photophysical processes to be directly observed.  Understanding             such processes is important in several branches of pure and applied             chemistry.                                                                                                                                                      In the planned research the transient CARS technique will be used to            take "snapshots" of excited sample molecules' vibrational spectra as            their properties change on the nanosecond time scale. Weisman will              trace the nonradiative relaxation pathways of polyatomic molecules such         as pyridine and carbon disulfide and examine the structures of their            excited states. He will also study the vibrational spectra of selected          gas phase radicals such as cyclopropyl and of "hot" (vibrationally              excited) molecules.
