This research, supported in the Experimental Physical Chemistry                 program, uses high temperature Knudsen cell techniques coupled                  with mass spectrometric measurements to characterize the vapor                  pressure of refractory transition metal carbides and nitrides                   as a function of temperature.  These data are then used to                      characterize enthalpies of formation, thermodynamic functions                   and bond energies of these species.  Similar measurements will                  be made for small metal clusters and selected diatomic metal                    species.                                                                                                                                                        The data obtained in these studies  are important for the                       understanding of chemical bonding, for optimizing existing and                  proposed processes and for checking the results of ab-initio                    quantum mechanics calculations.
