Molecular beam experiments provide fascinating data on how atoms move in the course of
chemical reactions. In order to theoretically reproduce these data at relatively low …

Chemical reaction dynamics are studied to monitor and understand the concerted motion of
several atoms while they rearrange from reactants to products. When the number of atoms …

The dynamics of chemical reactions in liquid solutions are now amenable to direct study
using ultrafast laser spectroscopy techniques and advances in computer simulation …

Velocity map imaging has been a highly successful method to study molecular and chemical
dynamics. In recent years, we have combined this method with ion–molecule reactive …

Since the first ion imaging experiment [DW Chandler and PL Houston, J. Chem. Phys. 87,
1445–1447 (1987)], demonstrating the capability of collecting an image of the …

Radical addition–elimination reactions are a major pathway for transformation of
unsaturated hydrocarbons. In the gas phase, these reactions involve formation of a transient …

We present a comprehensive overview of our ongoing studies applying dc slice imaging in
crossed molecular beams to probe the dynamics of chlorine atom reactions with polyatomic …

Mechanisms of bimolecular chemical reactions in solution are amenable to study on
picosecond timescales, both by transient absorption spectroscopy and by computer …

Reactions between Cl atoms and propene can lead to HCl formation either by direct H
abstraction or through a chloropropyl addition complex. Barring stabilizing collisions, the …

The marriage between high level quantum calculations and experimental advances in laser
technology, quantum state control, and detection techniques have opened the door to the …
