STRUCTURES AND DYNAMICS OF MOLECULES BY ELECTRON DIFFRACTION.

Abstract

The program of study was undertaken for the purpose of (1) determining the structure of chemically interesting molecules, by means of gaseous electron diffraction analysis, in order to better understand their chemical properties; and (2) determining the potential functions of certain molecules by combining the electron-diffraction measured amplitudes of vibration with the known vibrational frequencies. Computer programs for structural analysis were devised, and a diffraction apparatus was constructed. Molecular structure studies were carried out on disiloxane, disilyl sulfide, cyclopropane, diboron tetrachloride, cyclo-octadiene-1,5, 2,3-dimethylbutadiene, dinitrogen pentoxide, fluorine fluorosulfonate. Molecular dynamics studies were performed on phosphorus trichloride, arsenic tribromide, and nitrogen dioxide.
