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. 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.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to my major professor, Dr. Robert P. Hammer, for his guidance, friendship, constant support throughout this work, his belief that students independently approach and solve problems, and conversely, his assistance when needed. I would to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Robert M. Strongin for his encouragement and friendship. Special thanks are extended to Drs. Mark L. McLaughlin, Andrew Maverick, and Walter Keithly for being my committee members. They have always been helpful and concerned. I would like to acknowledge the following people: Dr. Tracy McCarley, Dr. Wenzhe Lu, and Ms. Laura Baker for their patient assistance in mass spectral analysis; Dr. Dale Treleaven, Dr. Zhe Zhou for their assistance in NMR spectroscopy. I cherish deeply the friendship of all my lab mates, colleagues, and friends who made me feel part of a family during my stay in Baton Rouge. I would like to express my appreciation to my wife, Judy Zhang, for her unconditional love and unwavering support, which have always been and continue to be the source of my strength and inspiration in my life. Also to my parents, Zheng Fan and Xiaoha Luo, for their understanding and spiritual assistance given, which have made this work possible. ii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.
