A Computational Study of Polyaromatic Hydrocarbon Radical Anions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclic_aromatic_hydrocarbon

Polyaromatic hydrocarbons are an interesting class of chemical compounds. My (bes) first publication involved benzene and naphthalene, the simplest of the aromatic/di-aromatic hydrocarbons.

Question: Can you find my (Bradley E. Sturgeon) Journal of Physical Chemistry publication titled, "Separation of Benzene and 2H-Substituted Benzene via Potassium Reduction"? This quick literature search is best done using our new "Web of Science" database Monmouth College recently added to its resources. Since you are most likely off campus, you will need to "authenticate" thru the main Library page found here <--right click to open in new tab. Choose the "Find" tab, then Databases, W, then "Web of Science." Now do an author search for Sturgeon, BE <-- this should return 42 results (3/18/20). Many of my listed references are "meeting abstracts" (ACS National meeting) so in order to refine the search to only my "Articles" scroll down to "Document Types," this should focus the search down to 22 results (3/18/20) or 3 pages. Navigate back to page 3...and you should find the above article. Note that this publication has been cited in other publications 31 times (3/18/20), but it has not been cited since 2012. Because Monmouth College has a digital subscription to all ACS journals (thanks to the Haldeman Library Endowment), we have access to the digital copy of the paper.
