mmurphyField of Interest:
Physical and Analytical Chemistry

Research Focus:
My research interests are related to the investigation of dynamics using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Past work includes the study of molecular rotation in crystalline solids, chain dynamics in amorphous polymers, and rate studies of exchanging spin systems. Current interests include reaction kinetics of anionic polymerizations and structural determinations of reaction intermediates in organocuprate addition reactions.
