Pressure Tuning Spectroscopy of Metal Cluster Compounds and Organometallics
No full textThe effect of hydrostatic pressure upon various metal cluster compounds and organometallics was studied through the use of electronic absorption and infrared spectroscopies. The systems studied were chosen for their use as potential models for chemisorbed metallic surfaces, and to gain a better fundamental understanding of metal-carbon interactions. In particular, it was found that: (1) the highly symmetric metal cluster compund Re\sb3Cl\sb \sp{3-} affords the opportunity to measure the relative energy shifts of two occupied bonding electronic levels (as well as two unoccupied antibonding levels; (2) pressure can serve to cause a torsional isomerization in binuclear metal cluster compounds, even when the two metal atoms are bonded to bridging ligands; (3) the interpretation of pressure shifts, in conjunction with electronic structural calculations, can produce a reasonable set of assignments for the visible absorption spectrum of the platinum cluster compound (Pt\sb3(CO)\sb6\rbrack\sb2\sp{2-}; (4) pressure can induce an order-disorder phase transition in the solid state for (Fe(cp)\sb2) PF\sb6; (5) the splittings between d-orbitals and electronic repulsion parameters can determine as a function of pressure for metallocenes; (6) pressure can greatly enhance intermolecular interactions between metallocenes in the solid state, thereby drastically affecting the infrared spectra for these molecules.Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-15T19:54:41Z (GMT).

Consumer Learning and Brand Loyalty When Product Quality Is Unknown
No full textSome recent research has focused on the behavior of agents under incomplete information, one aspect of which is the effect of learning on optimal decision making. This thesis explores the effects of consumer learning about product quality on a firm's optimal pricing strategies under different market structures.A two period model is presented in which the average quality of the product is exogenously determined and is unknown to consumers. Consumers' purchasing decisions are based on their expectations about average quality. Consumers use information about average quality acquired by observing a sample to revise their expectations. Because consumers receive different samples, their expectations vary. As learning occurs, the demand curve shifts. Current prices which determine the number of purchasers affect future demand. The "manipulating" firm increases profits by taking this effect into account when setting current prices.The main results of the model under different market situations are, first, when no entry occurs or when several competitive firms enter, a sufficient condition is specified under which there exists a unique level of average quality such that if the product's average quality is high, the manipulating firm's optimal first period price is lower than the "non-manipulating" firm who chooses current prices to maximize current profits. A low initial price increases the number of consumers who, on average, raise their expectations and are willing to make future purchases at higher prices. If the product's average quality is low, however, the optimal "manipulating" first period price is higher than the non-manipulating price, decreasing the rate of consumer learning.Second, when a single firm enters, a Stackelberg equilibrium is established. The incumbent must then consider not only the direct effect of its first period price on its future demand, but also the indirect effect on the entrant's demand and price which, in turn, affects the incumbent's demand. It is shown that these two forces may pull in different directions, limiting the incumbent's ability to manipulate future demand.Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-16T04:04:51Z (GMT).
