Representing major advances in this area of gas kinetics in the last twenty-five years, Unimolecular Reactions has been considerably rewritten to include important recent progress in both theory and experiment. New chapters cover the treatment of reactions with 'loose' transition states, the Master equation, and the approximate forms of Statistical Adiabatic Channel Theory. Extensive illustrations highlight both established activation methods and newer techniques such as the use of infrared and UV lasers, overtone excitation, molecular beam experiments and mass spectrometric methods.

From the Back Cover
Unimolecular Reactions Second Edition Kenneth A. Holbrook, University of Hull, UK Michael J. Pilling, University of Leeds, UK Struan H. Robertson, University of Leeds, UK Representing major advances in the area of gas kinetics in the last twenty-five years, this second edition of Unimolecular Reactions has been considerably re-written to include important recent progress in both theory and experiment. New chapters cover the treatment of reactions with "loose" transition states, the Master equation and the approximate forms of Statistical Adiabatic Channel Theory. Extensive illustrations highlight both established activation methods and newer techniques such as the use of infrared and UV lasers, overtone excitation, molecular beam experiments and mass spectrometric methods. Like the first edition, this volume will allow the reader to be able to apply theoretical results to experimental data. It will constitute a very valuable handbook for graduate students and experimental researchers. Contents include: RRKM Theory and its Numerical Applications; The Evaluation of Sums and Densities of Molecular Quantum States; Reactions with Loose Transition States; Master Equation Analysis of Collisional Energy Transfer; Approximate Techniques of Unimolecular Reactions; Energy Transfer; Kinetic Isotope Effects in Unimolecular Reactions; Experimental Data.

First Sentence:
A unimolecular reaction is in principle the simplest kind of elementary reaction, since it involves the isomerisation or decomposition of a single isolated reactant molecule A through a transition state A+ which involves no other molecule: A A+ products This book is concerned almost exclusively with gas-phase reactions, since the so-called 'unimolecular reactions' in condensed phases must necessarily involve participation of the surrounding molecules, and are therefore not unimolecular in the strict sense of the term.
