Abstract
Implementation of RRKM theory for unimolecular dissociations having transition states of any degree of looseness is described for reactions involving dissociation into two fragments. The fragments may be atomic, diatomic, or polyatomic species. Action-angle and internal coordinates for the transitional modes of the reaction, transformations to Cartesian coordinates, and other calculational aspects are described. Results for the NO2-->NO+O reaction are presented, including the dependence of the microcanonical rate constant on the bond fission and bending potentials for model potential energy surfaces. Illustrative calculations for the C2H6-->2CH3 reaction are also given.
