▪ 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 …

Ion imaging methods are making ever greater impact on studies of gas phase molecular
reaction dynamics. This article traces the evolution of the technique, highlights some of the …

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 article, we first explored the chemical dynamics of simple diatomic radicals (dicarbon,
methylidyne) utilizing the crossed molecular beams method. This versatile experimental …

This paper is an overview of the theory of reactive scattering, with emphasis on fully
quantum mechanical theories that have been developed to describe simple chemical …

The focus of this excellent textbook is the topic of molecular reaction dynamics. The chapters
are all written by internationally recognised researchers and, from the outset, the …

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 study of state-to-state dynamics of elementary bimolecular reactions has provided
remarkable insights into chemical reactivity at the most fundamental level. This review …
