Organic chemistry in aggregates, chemistry of reactive intermediates Research in my laboratory concerns physical organic chemistry; specifically the chemistry of reactive intermediates. The Chemistry of Reactive Intermediates Research in my laboratory focuses on organic reaction mechanisms, specifically the chemistry of short-lived reactive intermediates, such as carbenes, carbocations, radicals, and ion pairs. We use fast spectroscopic and kinetic techniques to probe these reactions and to measure the lifetimes of the transient species. Nanosecond and picosecond laser flash photolysis are the key methodologies. Ongoing collaborations with other laboratories also permit us to use advanced computational methods, matrix isolation spectroscopy, time resolved infrared spectroscopy, and ultrafast kinetic methods to study reactive intermediates. We are thus able to follow the evolution of the transient intermediates at very short reaction times. We also develop new synthetic methods to construct precursors (mainly diazirines) for the generation of novel reactive intermediates. Our research is supported by the National Science Foundation. conversion of isopropoxychlorodiazirine to isopropoxychlorocarbene Reaction Profile for conversion of isopropoxychlorodiazirine to isopropoxychlorocarbene with AlCl3
