Our major focus is in the field of solution chemical kinetics. The projects are of basic importance to organic chemistry because they study the bond making and bond breaking process of a great many reactions that are used in the synthesis of useful compounds. The proposed experiments may lead to better ways to measure and understand the effects of the solvent (medium) in which these reactions take place and this would increase our understanding of their reaction mechanisms.
