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

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

A procedure for the transformation from reactant to product Jacobi coordinates is proposed,
which is designed for the extraction of state-to-state reaction probabilities using a time …

The S-matrix for a scattering system provides the most detailed information about the
dynamics. In this work, we discuss the calculation of S-matrix elements for the A+ BC→ AB+ …

The latest reactive scattering experiments1 study gasphase chemical reactions at an
unprecedented level of detail, and require rigorous, often fully quantum mechanical, 2, 3 …

Cold and ultracold collisions are dominated by quantum effects, such as resonances,
tunneling, and nonadiabatic transitions between different electronic states. Due to the …

The state-to-state differential cross sections for some atom+ diatom reactions have been
calculated using a new wave packet code, MAD-WAVE3, which is described in some detail …

We review the recent progress achieved in the theoretical description of chemical reactions
at low temperatures. In particular, we discuss the crucial role played by the van der Waals …

The Li+ HF and Li+ HCl reactions share some common features. They have the same
kinematics, relatively small barrier heights, bent transition states, and are both exothermic …

Starting from a model study of the collinear (H, H2) exchange reaction in 1959, the time-
dependent quantum mechanical wave packet (TDQMWP) method has come a long way in …
