Unimolecular Reactions Second Edition Kenneth A. Holbrook, University of Hull, UK Michael J. Pilling, University of Leeds, UK Struan H. Robertson, University of Leeds, UK Representing major advances in the area of gas kinetics in the last twenty-five years, this second edition of Unimolecular Reactions has been considerably re-written to include important recent progress in both theory and experiment. New chapters cover the treatment of reactions with "loose" transition states, the Master equation and the approximate forms of Statistical Adiabatic Channel Theory. Extensive illustrations highlight both established activation methods and newer techniques such as the use of infrared and UV lasers, overtone excitation, molecular beam experiments and mass spectrometric methods. Like the first edition, this volume will allow the reader to be able to apply theoretical results to experimental data. It will constitute a very valuable handbook for graduate students and experimental researchers. Contents include: RRKM Theory and its Numerical Applications, The Evaluation of Sums and Densities of Molecular Quantum States, Reactions with Loose Transition States, Master Equation Analysis of Collisional Energy Transfer, Approximate Techniques of Unimolecular Reactions, Energy Transfer, Kinetic Isotope Effects in Unimolecular Reactions, Experimental Data.
