Unimolecular Kinetics: Part 2: Collisional Energy Transfer and The Master Equation

Unimolecular reactions are in principle the simplest chemical reactions, because they only involve one molecule. The basic mechanism, in which the competition between the chemical reaction step and a collisional deactivation leads to a pressure-dependent coefficient, has been understood for a long time. However, this is a rapidly developing field, and many new and important discoveries have been made in the past decade. Following on from Unimolecular Kinetics Part 1, Unimolecular Kinetics Part 2: Collisional Energy Transfer, a volume in Elsevier's Comprehensive Molecular Kinetics Series, addresses collision energy transfer and the effects this has on gas phase reactions particularly at low gas density. Such systems include combustion, industrial gas phase processes and atmospheric/environmental processes. It also discusses The Master Equation to give a good overview of the mechanics underpinning unimolecular kinetics. This new volume will be of interest to researchers investigating gas phase processes which involve unimolecular reactions and the related intermolecular reactions. Discusses collision energy transfer and the effects this has on gas phase reactionsIntroduces stochastic techniques to energy transfer methods, allowing for an extension of the unimolecular theory beyond simple molecular dissociationDraws an important connection between detailed reaction dynamic studies and the rate of coefficient determination INDICE: Part A.
