▪ 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 …

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 …

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 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 …

A global potential energy surface (PES) for the electronic ground state of PH2 (X2B1) is
reported based on accurate ab initio energy points and analytically modeled using the …

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 …

Many problems in chemical physics involve the interaction of a large number of atoms, and it
is attractive to break these problems down to smaller ones ie, with each involving only a few …

Controlling chemical reactions by selecting specific bond or vibrational mode excited states
of the reactants and analyzing the energy disposal into specific vibrational states as well as …
