Equilibration in Reversible Bimolecular Reactions
نویسنده
چکیده
Fast reversible pseudo-unimolecular reactions do not approach equilibrium in the simple exponential fashion predicted by chemical rate equations. Many-body effects in bimolecular reactions have been revealed in an extensive series of Brownian simulations, showing up to three distinct phases in the approach to equilibrium. Recent theoretical developments are compared with the simulation as well as with experimental data concerning the pH effect in excited-state proton transfer to solvent.

Analysis of Brownian Dynamics Simulations of Reversible Bimolecular Reactions
A class of Brownian dynamics algorithms for stochastic reaction-diffusion models which include reversible bimolecular reactions is presented and analyzed. The method is a generalization of the λ–̺ model for irreversible bimolecular reactions which was introduced in [11]. The formulae relating the experimentally measurable quantities (reaction rate constants and diffusion constants) with the algo...
متن کاملMechanism Discrimination for Bimolecular Reactions: Revisited with a Practical Hydrogenation Case Study
The governing mechanism of surface reactions is a fundamental concern in heterogeneous catalysis. The Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH) mechanism is widely accepted to control the surface reactions in many catalytic systems. This contribution derives and compares several important surface rate equations to evaluate their quality of fitting to the experimental data collected for a vapor-phase hydrogenat...
متن کاملThree-dimensional simulations of reversible bimolecular reactions: The simple target problem
We report three-dimensional simulations of the reversible reaction A1B↔C for a single static A molecule and a uniform initial concentration of noninteracting B-molecules. The results are compared with various analytic approximations for the time-dependence of the binding probability. They are in excellent agreement with a recent theory of Sung and Lee @J. Chem. Phys. 111, 796 ~1999!# for all ti...
متن کاملReversible-equivalent-monomolecular tau: A leaping method for "small number and stiff" stochastic chemical systems
Leaping methods provide for efficient and approximate time stepping of chemical reaction systems modeled by continuous time discrete state stochastic dynamics. We investigate the application of leaping methods for ‘‘small number and stiff’’ systems, i.e. systems whose dynamics involve different time scales and have some molecular species present in very small numbers, specifically in the range ...
متن کاملFemtosecond dynamics of dative bonding: concepts of reversible and dissociative electron transfer reactions.
With fs time, speed, and angular resolution of the elementary steps in electron transfer reactions, we report direct observation of reversible and dissociative processes for dative bonding involving covalent and ionic characters. For bimolecular reactions of various donors and acceptors we find strong correlation between the structure and the dynamics. The dynamics from the transition state to ...
