Vibrational motions of a polyatomic molecule are multifold and can be as simple as stretches
or bends or as complex as concerted motions of many atoms. Different modes of excitation …

Over the past ten years or so, great advances in our understanding of the dynamics of
elementary (bimolecular) polyatomic reactions in the gas-phase have occurred. This has …

Prealigning nonpolar reacting molecules leads to large stereodynamical effects because of
their weak steering interaction en route to the reaction barrier. However, experimental …

It has been long established that the transition state for an activated reaction controls the
overall reactivity, serving as the bottleneck for reaction flux. However, the role of the …

Advances in quantum state preparations combined with molecular cooling and trapping
technologies have enabled unprecedented control of molecular collision dynamics. This …

In recent experiments using the Stark-induced adiabatic Raman passage technique, Zhou et
al.(J. Chem. Phys. 2021, 154, 104309; Science 2021, 374, 960–964) measured the …

Stereodynamics describes how the vector properties of molecules, such as the directions in
which they move and the axes about which they rotate, affect the probabilities (or cross …
