Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer primer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, prim bleedthrough,m argin*,substandard and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note wiD indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g^ maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xe rographically in this copy. Higher quality 6* x 9" black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.

UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 To My Family and Friends ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Harold Shechter for his complete support during the entire course of my graduate studies. His "hands off" approach to research has led me to become an independent researcher, and his outstanding classroom teaching technique has been truly inspirational. Special thanks also go to past and present members of the Shechter group who made life pleasant both in and outside the laboratory. Drs. Mark McGuiness, Naresh Mathur, and Michael Wheeler are gratefully acknowledged for their initial cooperative and intense attention given to me when I was first starting out. Thanks also are given to Sau Kee (Andy) Wong, Tony Skufca, Chris Woltermann, Kirby Kendall, and Nyenty Arrey for the friendship which sustained me through my last part of graduate school. Special mention is given to Dr. Venkat Krishnamurthy, Dr. Ron Graham and Mrs. Linda Graham for the moral support as friends who were always available during the many ups and downs over the years. Without them, life would have been a serious struggle. Finally, the Chemistry Department at The Ohio State University is gratefully acknowledged for their financial support and for the opportunity to teach at an outstanding research institution. ill VITA December 18, 1964 ......................................................................
