Nitrenes and Nitrenium Ions

DANIEL E. FALVEY, PhD, is Professor at the University of Maryland. His research focuses on reaction mechanisms and reactive intermediates, with an emphasis on the exploration of intermediates that play a role in biochemical processes. Dr. Falvey has been awarded the Merck Award and the Reynold C. Fuson Memorial Award in Chemistry. Acclaimed for his teaching abilities, he has received the Outstanding Teacher Award from the Center for Teaching Excellence.

ANNA D. GUDMUNDSDOTTIR, PhD, is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Gudmundsdottir's studies photo-removeable protecting groups, reactive intermediates, and polymer modification. Her research team elucidated the reactivity of triplet alkyl and vinyl nitrenes in solution and solid state using transient spectroscopy and matrix isolation. Among her many honors, Dr. Gudmundsdottir is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award.
