While
past research efforts focused on gaining a general understanding the mechanisms
of a wide range of ion-molecule reactions, current efforts in this area are
more focused. The first publication described below investigated
a reaction that is difficult to study and for which results in the literature
differed significantly. The second
publication details a vast kinetic study aimed at providing critical data
for chemical ionization studies of food aromas.
