Physical Chemistry of Energetic Nitrogen Compounds

Abstract

This research program produced detailed information concerning the reactions of atoms with azide radicals, amines, aminyl radicals, and isocyanates, These processes release substantial amounts of energy and are constrained (by angular momentum conservation) to substantial amounts of energy and are constrained (by angular momentum conservation) to transfer processes generate products in specific states. In addition, reactions and energy transfer processes involving excited nitrene radicals were studied land the rates and mechanisms of several such processes were determined. The information generated provides insight into the fundamental behavior of nitrogen-halogen systems, and is relevant to the development of new lasers.
