Investigation of Absolute Photoionization Cross Sections of Cyclic Ketones, Low Temperature Combustion of Propargylamine by Synchrotron Photoionization Mass Spectrometry, and Computational Study of Hypersalts
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>The presented research was carried out at the University of San Francisco. Measurements of absolute photoionization cross sections of both cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone, as well as the Cl-initiated oxidation of propargylamine were completed through the use of a multiplexed photoionization mass spectrometer (MPMIS) located at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Advanced Light Source (ALS). Furthermore, the design of novel LiF containing hypersalts, constructed from superhalogens and superalkalis, were explored due to their enhanced ionization energies and electron affinities. All determined calculations were completed using the CBS-QB3 composite model with the <em>Gaussian09 </em>program. </p>
