Since Arrhenius first proposed an equation to account for the behavior of thermally activated
reactions in 1889, significant progress has been made in our understanding of chemical …

We present an overview of the current status of transition-state theory and its
generalizations. We emphasize (i) recent improvements in available methodology for …

In the past two decades, the revolutionary technologies of creating cold and ultracold
molecules have provided cutting-edge experiments for studying the fundamental …

Studies devoted to elucidating the mechanisms of formation and the properties of small
clusters consisting of molecules attached to ions have dramatically in-creased during the …

Many molecules exhibit multiple rotational isomers (conformers) that interconvert thermally
and are difficult to isolate. Consequently, a precise characterization of their role in chemical …

State-resolved and thermally averaged rate coefficients for ion-molecule capture processes
are determined by detailed statistical adiabatic channel calculations. The equivalence of this …

The statistical adiabatic channel model is applied to thermal ion-molecule reactions, which
are determined by capture rates, and to ion-molecule association reactions in the high …

The author's Polanyi Lecture 1992 is summarized, discussing experimental examples of
complex-forming bimolecular reactions, their identification by pressure and temperature …

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 …

Revised time-dependent models of the ion-molecule chemistry of dense interstellar clouds
(Graedel, Langer, and Frerking, 1982) are used to calculate the abundances of key …
