Solvent Dynamics and RRKM Theory of Clusters

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

In this chapter we consider the problem of reaction rates in clusters (microcanonical) modified by solvent dynamics. The field is a relatively new one, both experimentally and theoretically, and stems from recent work on well-defined clusters. We first review some theories and results for the solvent dynamics of reactions in constant-temperature condensed-phase systems and then describe two papers from our recent work on the adaptation to microcanonical systems. In the process we comment on a number of questions in the constant-temperature studies and consider the relation of those studies to corresponding future studies of clusters.
