Studies in Physical Organic Chemistry

在化学系有机动力学项目的支持下，肯尼斯B教授。耶鲁大学化学系的Wiberg将研究控制有机分子结构、能量、光谱和其他性质的分子内相互作用的性质。通过实验和理论方法的结合，Wiberg教授将研究控制分子优选构象的分子内相互作用。在有机分子中的静电相互作用也将研究利用计算组偶极子和检查的有效介电常数的问题，实验和计算。此外，还将研究环状和开链烯烃的电子激发态的性质、控制旋光度和旋光活性的因素，并将烯烃的高锰酸盐氧化与烯烃与Cr（IV）的反应进行比较。Kenneth B教授。耶鲁大学化学系的Wiberg在有机动力学项目的支持下，利用实验和理论之间的协同作用来研究有机分子的性质，以获得比单独使用任何一种方法都更丰富的信息细节。

With the support of the Organic Dynamics Program in the Chemistry Division, Professor Kenneth B. Wiberg, of the Department of Chemistry at Yale University, will study the nature of the intramolecular interactions that control the structures, energies, spectra and other properties of organic molecules. Through a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches, Professor Wiberg will examine the intramolecular interactions that control the preferred conformations of molecules. Electrostatic interactions in organic molecules will also be studied making use of calculated group dipoles and examining the question of the effective dielectric constant both experimentally and computationally. Studies will also be done examining the nature of electronically excited states for cyclic and open chain alkenes, factors that control optical rotation and, hence, optical activity, and comparing the permanganate oxidation of alkenes with the reaction of alkenes with Cr(IV).Professor Kenneth B. Wiberg, of the Department of Chemistry at Yale University, with the support of the Organic Dynamics Program, studies the properties of organic molecules using the synergistic interaction between experiment and theory to garner a richer detail of information than would be possible using either approach by itself.
