IntraCavity Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (ICLAS) is a high-resolution, high sensitivity spectroscopic method capable of measuring line positions, linewidths, lineshapes, and absolute line intensities with a sensitivity ...

Trace species play a major role in many physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere. Improving our understanding of the impact of each species requires a combination of laboratory exper- imentation, field measurements, ...

Broadly defined this thesis has focused on the design and study of molecular catalysts that engender multi-electron reactions and photoreactions on small molecule substrates relevant to solar energy conversion. Specifically ...

Chapter 1. A general introduction is given. Chapter 2. The biscarboxylate species, Mo(NR)(CHCMe 2Ph)(O 2CPh3)2 (R = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3, 2,6- Me2C6H3, 2-t-BuC 6H4, or 1 -adamantyl) are compared to newly synthesized bis(terphen ...

Membrane proteins mediate critical functions in biological systems and are important drug targets for a number of diseases. Determining the three-dimensional structure and function of membrane proteins under physologically ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and fully-conjugated ladder polymers are leading candidates for organics electronics, as their inherent conformational rigidity encourages electron delocalization. Many of these ...
