This research, part of the Experimental Physical Chemistry                      Program, uses the techniques of laser flash photolysis to                       produce radicals and transient species, which are then studied                  by infrared spectroscopic techniques.  This research will                       produce an understanding of the structure and dynamics of                       prototypical transient species of importance to combustion and                  chemical bonding.                                                                                                                                               Techniques of time-resolved spectroscopy will be utilized to                    study the energy levels and dynamics of small radicals such as                  C2H, C4H, vinyl, vinylidene and allyl.  In a second study the                   absorption spectra of larger radicals will be studied after                     supersonic cooling.  The cooling will reduce the temperature                    and the number of populated ro-vibrational levels, thereby                      simplifying the interpretation of the infrared spectra of these                 species.
