A high pressure apparatus has been constructed for measuring rates of reactions in liquids under pressures ranging from 1 atm to 2000 atm. This apparatus is being used to test the effect of ligand bulk on the rate of a thermal ring closure reaction. Microphonic photoacoustic signals obtained by illuminating solid samples with synchrotron soft x-rays and with visible laser beams have been successfully correlated with a theory for photoacoustic signal enhancement by volatile liquids. The concentration dependence of the fluorescence and nonradiative quantum yields for cresyl violet dissolved in methanol has been determined. Stability constants for complexes of lithium ion with four different crown ethers dissolved in a low temperature molten salt have been measured.
