United States Air Force Academy, Department of Chemistry Research: AY 1983-1984.
Abstract
Department of Chemistry research during AY-1983-84 has progressed well in the areas of energetic materials, theoretical chemistry, and catalysis research. Working closely with Frank J. Seiler Research Laboratory on many of these projects, department researchers have synthesized new energetic compounds. Theoretical methods have been used to study basic silicon chemistry and biochemical molecules. Spectroscopic studies of the photodegradation of riboflavin have lead to an understanding of this important photochemical reaction. Contents of this report include: Synthesis of Polynitrophenyl Acetylenes; Regiospecific Fluorination of Aryl Anions with Xenon Difluoride; Correlation of Sigma 13 Constants with NMR Chemical shifts in Fluorine, Phosphorus, and Nitrogen-Containing Styrene Derivatives; Photodegradation of Riboflavin; A Quantum-Chemical Study Relating Pseudorotation to the Stereochemistry of Nucleophilic Substitution at Silicon; and Theoretical Calculations of the Peptide Bond.
