Title: Fundamental spectroscopic studies of carbenes and hydrocarbon radicals

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/765943· OSTI ID:765943

Determination of bond dissociation energies and heats of formation of hydrocarbon radicals and carbenes requires knowledge of their structures, but this is not provided by standard mass spectrometric studies; what is needed is high-resolution spectroscopy, often best achieved at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths. Nearly 60 reactive organic molecules were investigated in the period from 1988--1998.
