Many gas-phase chemical reactions proceed via reaction intermediates, supported by
potential wells. The characteristics of such complex-forming reactions differ drastically from …

▪ Abstract This review discusses recent quantum scattering calculations on bimolecular
chemical reactions in the gas phase. This theory provides detailed and accurate predictions …

Ultracold molecules offer unprecedented opportunities for the controlled interrogation of
molecular events, including chemical reactivity in the ultimate quantum regime. The …

Electroactive polymers (EAPs) can behave as actuators, changing their shape in response
to electrical stimulation. EAPs that are controlled by external electric fields—referred to here …

Dynamics of bimolecular reactions in the gas phase are of foundational importance in
combustion, atmospheric chemistry, interstellar chemistry, and plasma chemistry. These …

Reaction resonances, or transiently stabilized transition-state structures, have proven highly
challenging to capture experimentally. Here, we used the highly sensitive H atom Rydberg …

The reaction F+ H2→ FH+ H is studied quantum mechanically at ultralow temperatures. The
low temperature limit of its rate coefficient is controlled by the attractive van der Waals …

Expanding on an earlier Communication [MH Alexander, H.-J. Werner, and DE
Manolopoulos, J. Chem. Phys. 109, 5710 (1998)], we present here the full framework for the …

Instanton theory provides a simple description of a quantum tunnelling process in terms of
an optimal tunnelling pathway. The theory is rigorously based on quantum mechanics …

There has been great progress in the development of potential energy surfaces (PESs) and
quantum dynamics calculations in the gas phase. The establishment of a fitting procedure …
