Unimolecular Reactions, Rates and Quantum State Distribution of Products

Abstract

Microcanonical rates and products rovibrational quantum state distributions of several unimolecular dissociations, and canonical rates of some bimolecular associations, are discussed from the viewpoint of variational Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) theory. The results are compared with the experimental data and with the very useful benchmark theory, phase space theory. A two-transition-state description is discussed for the threshold regions for the products vibrational excitations.
