INFORMATION TO USERS This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. 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, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, 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 will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer 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 xerographically 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 Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENT I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor, Professor A. Wojcicki, for his support and guidance. The completion of my experimental work would have been impossible without the collaboration of Carl Engleman (NMR), David Chang (mass spectrometry), and Judith Gallucci (X-ray diffraction analysis). I would like to acknowledge as well the financial support provided by The Ohio State University and the Lubrizol Co. for a graduate fellowship. Thanks to all the members of the Wojcicki group, past and present: Laura L. Padolik, Patrick W. Blosser, Richard R. Willis, Dean E. Rende, Mark W. Baize, Todd R. Dunsizer, Kirsten L. Daniel, and Christopher M. Beck. In addition to constructive chemistry-related discussions, I am appreciative of their moral support and friendship. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to my parents whose love, patience, and unconditional support have contributed to the completion of my graduate studies. This dissertation is dedicated to them.
