Description for Unimolecular Reactions: A Concise Introduction
paperback. This graduate level textbook covers the basics necessary for the understanding of RRKM theory. Num Pages: 332 pages, 58 b/w illus. 85 exercises. BIC Classification: PHM; PNRP.

The statistical theory of unimolecular reactions is now universally known as RRKM theory. This textbook covers the basics necessary for the understanding of RRKM theory in its original and variational, phase-space and angular momentum-conserved incarnations. After a review of the Kassel quantum model and the theory of Slater, the specific-energy RRKM rate constant k(E) is derived. The argument is then extended to the angular momentum-dependent rate constant k(E,J), to non-classical effects (tunneling and non-adiabatic transition), and the general problem of angular momentum conservation. A long chapter is devoted to the counting of quantum states. The chapter on thermal systems discusses ... Read more
