Conspectus Most chemical processes are triggered by electron or charge transfer
phenomena (CT). An important class of processes involving CT are chemi-ionization …

The present perspective review focuses on the role of the precursor state, controlling the
dynamical evolution of elementary processes, whose structure and stability are often difficult …

The prospect of studying state-to-state chemical reaction dynamics, with full control over all
of the reaction parameters, is becoming a reality for a small number of systems. Thanks to …

The reaction between He+ and CH 3 F forming predominantly CH 2+ and CHF+ has been
studied at collision energies E coll between 0 and k B· 10 K in a merged-beam apparatus …

Abstract The Born–Oppenheimer approximation, assuming separable nuclear and
electronic motion, is widely adopted for characterizing chemical reactions in a single …

The relationship between the shape of a molecule and its chemical reactivity is a central
tenet in chemistry. However, the influence of the molecular geometry on reactivity can be …

The fully state-selected reactions between H2+ molecules in the X+ 2Σg+ (v+= 0, N+= 0)
state and HD molecules in the X 1Σg+ (v= 0, J= 0) state forming H3++ D and H2D++ H have …

A time-dependent wave packet method is introduced for calculating the integral and
differential cross sections for the dissociative recombination (DR), associative ionization (AI) …

The investigation of chemi-ionization processes provides unique information on how the
reaction dynamics depend on the energy and structure of the transition state which relate to …

Observation of molecular dynamics with quantum state resolution is one of the major
challenges in chemical physics. Complete characterization of collision dynamics leads to the …
