INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.Tlie sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. Universi^ MicrxSilms International 300 N.

Swenton Dr. Leo A. Paquette Dr. Leo A. Paquette, Advisor Department of Chemistry To my Mother and Father, for giving me what i t takes to see something through. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to gratefully acknowledge the advice and support of Professor Leo Paquette while working under his direction. I am indebted to my many friends and associates in the Paquette group for their suggestions and technical assistance. Mary, B illy , Ken, Dan and Keith have been responsible for making my stay here a pleasant one. Several individuals have made contributions to the preparation of this manuscript. Ken, Keith, Geoff, Dan, Craig and John have helped to correct my atrocious grammar and spelling. Kay's stamina and endurance in typing this work has served us both w ell. Finally I wish to thank the staff of the Venetian for giving me a quiet place to write on sunny days. r r r VITA May 14, 1954 ................................
