This review is concerned with the theoretical and computational modeling of bimolecular
reactions, especially with generally applicable methods for kinetics (ie, overall rates as …

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

Ultracold molecules offer unprecedented opportunities for the controlled interrogation of
molecular events, including chemical reactivity in the ultimate quantum regime. The …

The time-dependent quantum wave packet approach has been improved and formulated to
treat the multiple surface problems and thus provided a new simple, yet a clear quantum …

Many chemical reactions involve a change in spin-state and are formally forbidden. This
article summarises a number of previously published applications showing that a form of …

There has been great progress in the development of potential energy surfaces (PESs) for
reaction dynamics that are fits to ab initio energies. The fitting techniques described here …

The recent development of a range of new methods for producing samples of gas-phase
molecules that are translationally cold (K) or ultracold (mK) is driving efforts to study reactive …

In this review, we survey the latest advances in theoretical understanding of bimolecular
reaction dynamics in the past decade. The remarkable recent progress in this field has been …

Dynamics of bimolecular reactions in the gas phase are of foundational importance in
combustion, atmospheric chemistry, interstellar chemistry, and plasma chemistry. These …

This Feature Article presents an overview of the current status of ring polymer molecular
dynamics (RPMD) rate theory. We first analyze the RPMD approach and its connection to …
