Relation between State‐Selected or State‐Averaged Cross Sections of Endothermic Reactions and Rate Constants of Exothermic Reactions. Application of Bimolecular Microcanonical Activated Complex Theory

Abstract

An expression is derived relating state‐selected or state‐averaged molecular beam reaction cross sections of endothermic reactions to observed rate constants for the inverse (exothermic) reactions. An approximation of Anlauf, Maylotte, Polanyi, and Bernstein is used, together with bimolecular microcanonical activated complex theory [R. A. Marcus, J. Chem. Phys. 45, 2138 (1966)].
