Sydney Leach will be remembered as an outstanding and inspirational scientist, an irreplaceable friend to many—artists and musicians as well as academic colleagues. He encouraged and influenced numerous scientists as a mentor. After graduating from King's College London and carrying out war work at Farnborough, he spent all his scientific life based in Paris, working principally at Orsay and, in his later years, at the Observatoire de Paris–Meudon. Sydney was a major influence in establishing chemical physics in France after World War II, founding the highly influential Laboratoire de Photophysique Moléculaire (LPPM) at Orsay, where much of his pioneering work was performed. The ‘Sydney lab’ lives on in the newly created Institut des Sciences Moléculaires d'Orsay. Early experiments often took place at the synchrotron source (ACO, Super-ACO), just a few hundred yards from LPPM. He was a pioneering advocate of synchrotron radiation, and a driving force for its use in spectroscopy and photodynamics, along with free-electron lasers, supersonic jets, coincidence spectroscopy and matrix isolation—techniques that were applied and refined over decades and used to explore fundamental processes such as photoionization, vibronic coupling and radiationless transitions. Sydney's seminal studies of polyatomic molecular ions led him towards fresh horizons in planetary atmospheric and space science. His work opened new vistas in cometary spectroscopy, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, fullerenes and their possible roles in the chemistry of the interstellar medium and, finally, biologically relevant species, helping to instigate the newly developing subject of astrobiology—a perfect example of his sustained prescience in the world of science.

The mechanisms for the reaction of methyl radical with ethylamine were determined by the density functional theory using the atomic structures of the reactants, transition states and products optimized at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p) level of theory. Seven transition states were identified for the production of CH3CHNH2 + CH4 (TS1), CH3CH2NH + CH4 (TS2), CH2CH2NH2 + CH4 (TS3), CH3CH2NHCH3 + H (TS4), CH3CH2 + CH3NH2 (TS5), C2H6 + CH2NH2 (TS6) and C3H8 + NH2 (TS7) with the corresponding barriers, 9.34, 9.90, 13.46, 27.70, 39.12, 45.82 and 69.34 kcal/mol. Thermodynamics analysis and potential energy surface showed that H-abstraction pathways take place easier than NH2-, CH3–abstractions, H-substitution of the NH2 group and CH3-substitution in ethylamine. The H-abstraction in methylene group of ethylamine is the most favourable on the PES of this reaction system.

The reaction paths of the reaction of methyl radical with propanol-2 (i-C3H7OH) were investigated in detail using density functional theory at B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p) level. There were seven reaction pathways which form seven products including CH4 + (CH3)2COH, CH4 + (CH3)2CHO, CH4 + CH3CHOHCH2, CH3OH + CH3CHCH3, C2H6 + CH3CHOH, (CH3)2CH-O-CH3 + H and (CH3)3CH + OH. The results of analysis of the reaction paths and thermokinetic parameters showed that methane could be generated from three different channels. The removed H-atom from secondary carbon atom in the propanol-2 molecule is the most favorable of this reaction system. Keywords Methyl, propanol-2, B3LYP, transition state References [1] I. R.

This thesis is an effort to understand electronic structure and optical properties of low-dimensional conjugated molecules such as polyatomic aromatic hydrocarbons and nanoribbons composed of perylene monomers in addition to transport and magnetic properties of model conjugated systems such as ladders and junctions. we carry out a systematic study of the electronic states of several PAHs using the PPP model which incorporates long-range electron correlations. In all the molecules studied by us, we find that the 2A state is below the 1B state and hence none of them will be fluorescent in the gaseous phase. The singlet-triplet gap is more than one-half of the singlet-singlet gap in all cases and hence none of these PAHs can be candidates for improved solar cell efficiencies in a singlet fission. We discuss in detail the properties of the electronic states which include bond orders and spin densities (in triplets) of these systems
