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

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 …

The S-matrix for a scattering system provides the most detailed information about the
dynamics. In this work, we discuss the calculation of S-matrix elements for the A+ BC→ AB+ …

A new time-dependent wavepacket method is developed to study the A+ BC→ AB+ C, AC+
B reaction at the state-to-state level. The method only requires propagation of the …

Molecular beam experiments provide fascinating data on how atoms move in the course of
chemical reactions. In order to theoretically reproduce these data at relatively low …

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 …

Quantum mechanical calculations are important tools for predicting the rates of elementary
reactions, particularly for those involving hydrogen and at low temperatures where quantum …

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 …

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 …

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) …
