I would like to thank the Mississippi Center for Supercomputing Research for the use of their computational facilities and the research group of Dr. Gregory Tschumper for their guidance and computational assistance. Specifically, I would like to thank Eric Van Dornshuld for his continual support and advisement throughout this research project. Lastly, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Gregory Tschumper, for allowing me to work in his laboratory as well as providing me with a worthwhile project to fulfill this thesis requirement. iii ABSTRACT This work characterizes five stationary points of the formaldehyde dimer, (CH2O)2, two of which are minima, seven newly-identified stationary points of the formaldehyde/thioformaldehyde (mixed) dimer, CH2O/CH2S, four of which are minima, and five newly-identified stationary points of the thioformaldehyde dimer, (CH2S)2 , three of which are minima. Full geometry optimizations and corresponding harmonic vibrational frequencies were performed on CH2O and CH2S as well as each of the dimer configurations (Figures 3-5).

  • TA-02 Ion Science PID Response Factors USA V1.6.Pdf 1.43 MB
    Technical/Application Article 02 Version 1.6 19 July 2016 WRH/FD Ion Science PID Response Factors PID Response Photoionization Detectors (PIDs) respond to a broad range of organic and a few inorganic gaseous and volatile chemicals (‘volatiles’). In order for PID to respond to a volatile, the photon energy of the lamp must be greater than its ionization energy. Ion Science PIDs are available with 10.0 eV, 10.6 eV, and 11.7 eV lamps. This Technical Article lists the response factors (‘RF’s’) for over 800 volatiles with PID engaging these lamps. The RF relates the sensitivity of PID to a volatile to the sensitivity to the standard calibration gas isobutylene. The higher the RF, the lower the sensitivity. In the table ‘ZR’ means there is no response, NA that the value has not been measured (Not Available), and NV means that the compound is not volatile enough to measure accurately. For chemicals not listed, contact Ion Science for more information. Isobutylene as Reference Gas It is always most accurate to calibrate a PID directly with the compound to be measured. However, standard gas cylinders of many chemicals are not readily available, and in such cases isobutylene is the standard reference gas used to calibrate. The response of these chemicals differs to isobutylene by the factors listed in the table below. This table allows measurement of all the listed volatiles using only isobutylene for calibration. To obtain the true concentration of the target volatile chemical, multiply the apparent reading by the response factor listed in the table: True Concentration = Apparent Response x Response Factor For example, anisole has a response factor (RF) of 0.47 with a 10.6 eV lamp.

Here, we present a laboratory investigation aimed at determining accurate spectroscopic parameters for CH3CHS to enable astronomical searches for this molecule using radio telescope arrays at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. New laboratory measurements have been carried out between 150 and 660 GHz using the spectrometer of PhLAM in Lille (France). Rotational transitions up to J = 60 were assigned in the ground, first and second excited torsional states of thioacetaldehyde and fit using the RAM Hamiltonian model. The final fit includes 62 parameters to give an overall weighted root-mean-square deviation of 0.9. On the basis of our spectroscopic results, CH3CHS was searched for, but not detected, in data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) between 84 GHz and 114 GHz toward the hot molecular core Sgr B2(N2).

The response of these chemicals differs to isobutylene by the factors listed in the table below. This table allows measurement of any of the compounds in it using only isobutylene for calibration. To obtain the true concentration of the target chemical, multiply the apparent reading by the response factor listed in the table: True Concentration = Apparent Response x Response Factor For example, anisole has a response factor (RF) of 0.47 with a 10.6 eV lamp. Therefore, a reading of 10 ppm using an isobutylene-calibrated unit would correspond to: True Concentration = 10 ppm x 0.47 = 4.7 ppm Most of the Response Factors are pre-programmed into a compound library and can be called up to make the PID read out in units of the compound of interest.

Owing to wide energy range we have been able to compute target properties and investigate variety of processes and report data on resonances, vertical electronic excitation energies, differential cross sections (DCS), momentum transfer cross sections (MTCS), total ionization cross sections (TICS) and total cross sections (TCS) as well as scattering rate coefficients. Due to complexity involved in scattering calculations, two different theoretical formalisms are used. We have employed ab initio R-matrix method (0.01 eV to ∼ 20 eV) and the spherical complex optical potential (SCOP) method (∼20 eV to 5000 eV) to compute the cross sections. The R-matrix calculations are performed using close coupling approximation employing static exchange plus polarization (SEP) model with the aid of basis sets, 6-31G* (14 target states) and cc-pVTZ (16 target states).

James Worman Via a literature search it has been shown, by means of the ira spectra of thioamides, the dipole moments of thiocarbonyl compounds , the basicity of thioamides and thioureas, the acidity of carboxylic acids carrying a substituent with the thiocarbonyl function, LCAO-b method, and proton· chemical shifts, that the thiocarbonyl group me has tendency to give a greater mesomeric interaction than the (�) carbonyla group (£) with electron donating heteroatoms.
