Electron‐Transfer Reactions Involving Atoms, Molecules and Clusters

Transition State Spectroscopy of the Photoinduced Ca + CH3F Reaction. 1. A Cluster Isolated Chemical Reaction Study

“…From the early days of chemical physics, it has been known that chemical reactions are controlled by the passage through the transition state region of the reaction . Many strategies have been developed to unravel the dynamics of reactive systems in this region, especially in the case of electron-transfer reactions (see ref and references therein for a review). One of them is to perform the spectroscopy of the transition state: the reaction is photoinduced close to the transition state region and is monitored as a function of the wavelength of the photoinduction laser.…”
