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

In our laboratory a recent series of experiments by means of the crossed molecular beam
(CMB) scattering technique with mass-spectrometric detection and time-of-flight analysis has …

The statistical model of atom–diatom insertion reactions is combined with coupled-channel
capture theory and used to calculate differential cross sections for the reactions of C (1 D), N …

The reaction between carbon atoms in their 1D electronically excited state and hydrogen
molecules belongs to the class of insertion reactions, such as O (1D) H2 and N (2D) H2 …

In this Perspective we highlight developments in the field of chemical reaction dynamics.
Focus is on the advances recently made in the investigation of the dynamics of elementary …

The study of insertion atom–diatom reactions is usually complicated by the existence of
deep potential wells between reactants and products. The large number of bound and …

The adiabatic global potential energy surface of the CH 2 system for the first singlet state of
A′ symmetry (ã 1 A′) has been computed. Ab initio, multireference, single and double …

Using a wave packet method, state-to-state inelastic transition probabilities and initial state
specified total reaction probabilities are calculated for the title system (J= 0) on a recent ab …

The quantum (QM) scattering theory has been difficult to apply to the family of insertion
reactions and the approximate quasiclassical trajectory (QCT) method or statistical …

Recent progress in the study of insertion reactions of hydrogen molecules with excited
atoms is reviewed in this article. In particular, the dynamics of the reaction of O (1 D), N (2 D) …
