Investigation of Oxidation Reaction Products of 2-Phenylethanol using Synchrotron Photoionization
Major
M.S. Chemistry
Research Abstract
Photolytically Cl-initiated oxidation reaction of 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) was carried out at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) in the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Using the multiplex photoionization mass spectrometer, coupled with the tunable vacuum ultraviolet radiation of the ALS, data were collected at low pressure (4 – 6 Torr) and temperature (298 – 550 K) regimes. Data analysis was performed via characterization of the reaction species photoionization spectra and kinetic traces.
