A molecular level understanding of dynamics in condensed media is one of the current
challenges to chemical physics. The challenge stems from the many-body nature of …

Instinct may suggest that atoms are reagents second to none, for, the noble gases apart, the
atoms of an element must be thermodynamically superior as synthons to the element in bulk …

General correlations between van der Waals interaction potential parameters and
polarizabilities of the interacting neutral–neutral partners of any nature are presented and …

THE orientational dependence of molecular interactions has long been recognized as
central to an understanding of reaction mechanisms and of collisions in the gas phase and …

This article gives a perspective view of some representative experimental information
available on interatomic forces. They play a role in gaseous properties, but modern …

A new krypton-containing compound, HKrF, has been prepared in a low-temperature Kr
matrix via VUV photolysis of the HF precursor and posterior thermal mobilization of H and F …

The experimental chemistry of the noble gases (Ng) began less than 40 years ago with Neil
Bartlett's success to chemically activate one of the ''inert gases''by creating the first Xe–F …

Integral cross sections as a function of velocity for scattering of ground state oxygen atoms
by the rare gases have been measured at thermal energy. Analysis of atomic sublevels by a …

The theory needed to carry out calculations on atom–molecule van der Waals complexes
containing open‐shell atoms is developed. The discussion concentrates on complexes …

Supersonic beams of oxygen, nitrogen, and chlorine atoms and of metastable oxygen and
nitrogen molecules produced from a high‐pressure radio‐frequency discharge beam source …
