Microcanonical transition state theory for activated gas-surface reaction dynamics: application to H2/CU(111) with rotation as a spectator.
A microcanonical unimolecular rate theory (MURT) model incorporating quantized surface vibrations and Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus rate constants is applied to a benchmark system for gas-surface reaction dynamics, the activated dissociative chemisorption and associative desorption of hydrogen on Cu(111). Both molecular translation parallel to the surface and rotation are treated as spectator d...
متن کاملTransition state theory for laser-driven reactions.
Recent developments in transition state theory brought about by dynamical systems theory are extended to time-dependent systems such as laser-driven reactions. Using time-dependent normal form theory, the authors construct a reaction coordinate with regular dynamics inside the transition region. The conservation of the associated action enables one to extract time-dependent invariant manifolds ...
متن کاملGlobal dynamics and transition state theories: Comparative study of reaction rate constants for gas-phase chemical reactions
In this review article, we present a systematic comparison of the theoretical rate constants for a range of bimolecular reactions that are calculated by using three different classes of theoretical methods: quantum dynamics (QD), quasi-classical trajectory (QCT), and transition state theory (TST) approaches. The study shows that the difference of rate constants between TST results and those of ...
متن کاملQuantum state resolved gas-surface reaction dynamics experiments: a tutorial review.
We present a tutorial review of our quantum state resolved experiments designed to study gas-surface reaction dynamics. The combination of a molecular beam, state specific reactant preparation by infrared laser pumping, and ultrahigh vacuum surface analysis techniques make it possible to study chemical reactivity at the gas-surface interface in unprecedented detail. We describe the experimental...
متن کاملReaction class transition state theory: Hydrogen abstraction reactions by hydrogen atoms as test cases
We present a new method called Reaction Class Transition State Theory ~RC-TST! for estimating thermal rate constants of a large number of reactions in a class. This method is based on the transition state theory framework within the reaction class approach. Thermal rate constants of a given reaction in a class relative to those of its principal reaction can be efficiently predicted from only it...
