This book provides a penetrating and comprehensive description of energy selected reactions from a theoretical as well as experimental view. Three major aspects of unimolecular reactions involving the preparation of the reactants in selected energy states, the rate of dissociation of the activated molecule, and the partitioning of the excess energy among the final products, are fully discussed with the aid of 175 illustrations and over 1,000 references, most from the recent literature. Examples of both neutral and ionic reactions are presented. Many of the difficult topics are discussed at several levels of sophistication to allow access by novices as well as experts. Among the topics covered for the first time in monograph form is a discussion of highly excited vibrational/rotational states and intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution. Problems associated with the application of RRKM theory are discussed with the aid of experimental examples. Detailed comparisons
are also made between different statistical models of unimolecular decomposition. Both quantum and classical models not based on statistical assumptions are described. Finally, a chapter devoted to the theory of product energy distribution includes the application of phase space theory to the dissociation of small and large clusters. The work will be welcomed as a valuable resource by practicing researchers and graduate students in physical chemistry, and those involved in the study of chemical reaction dynamics.

Industry Reviews

"The authors bring complementary expertise to this book. . .Both experiments and theory are treated with considerable depth. . . .From start to finish this book is excellent. . . .Anyone working in this field or in related fields will want to own this book."--Journal of the American Chemical Society "The authors are to be congratulated and thanked for a timely and important contribution to the textbook literature in the field of unimolecular reactions. They have produced a remarkably balanced and integrated account of both experiment and theory, which is already becoming a standard reference for workers in the field." --Journal of Chemical Education "The authors bring complementary expertise to this book. . .Both experiments and theory are treated with considerable depth. . . .From start to finish this book is excellent. . . .Anyone working in this field or in related fields will want to own this book."--Journal of the American Chemical Society "The authors are to be congratulated and thanked for a timely and important contribution to the textbook literature in the field of unimolecular reactions.
