Study of the Energetics of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and their Interstellar Implications

Interstellar chemistry has been a growing field over the last several decades. There is particular interest on the nature and reactivity of interstellar molecules; most notably that of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). My thesis focused on the kinetics of unimolecular dissociation of small...
