In this review, we survey the latest advances in theoretical understanding of bimolecular
reaction dynamics in the past decade. The remarkable recent progress in this field has been …

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

At low energies, the quantum wave–like nature of molecular interactions results in distinctive
scattering behavior, ranging from the universal Wigner laws near 0 kelvin to the occurrence …

In a direct dynamics simulation, the technologies of chemical dynamics and electronic
structure theory are coupled so that the potential energy, gradient, and Hessian required …

Termolecular association reactions involve ephemeral collision complexes—formed from
the collision of two molecules—that collide with a third and chemically inert 'bath gas' …

In molecular collisions, resonances occur at specific energies at which the colliding particles
temporarily form quasibound complexes, resulting in rapid variations in the energy …

Partial wave resonances predicted to occur in bimolecular collision processes have proven
challenging to observe experimentally. Here, we report crossed-beam experiments and …

Optical pumping of molecules provides unique opportunities for control of chemical
reactions at a wide range of rotational energies. This work reports a chemical reaction with …

Quantum dynamical theories have progressed to the stage in which state-to-state differential
cross sections can now be routinely computed with high accuracy for three-atom systems …

Just as light scattering from an object results in diffraction patterns, the quantum mechanical
nature of molecules can lead to the diffraction of matter waves during molecular collisions …
