Lee, Yuan T

Thrust was to elucidate simple elementary reactions and to unravel mechanism of complex/photochemical reactions. Molecular beams are used to study reactions between molecules or to monitor photodissociation events in a collision-free environment. Recent activities centered on reactions involving oxygen atoms with unsaturated hydrocarbons, endothermic substitution reactions, dependence of reactivity of excited atoms on alignment of excited orbitals, photochemical reactions of polyatomic, energy transfer, free radicals in combustion processes, infrared absorption spectra of carbonium ions and hydrated hydronium ions, and bond-selective photodissociation.
