Abstract

A unified statistical theory for bimolecular chemical reactions is developed. In the limit of a ’’direct’’ mechanism it becomes the usual transition state theory, which is correct for this situation, and if the reaction proceeds via a long-lived collision complex it reduces to the statistical model of Light and Nikitin. A general criterion for locating the ’’dividing surfaces’’ that are central to statistical theory is also discussed. This prescription (Keck’s variational principle) is shown not only to locate the usual dividing surfaces that pass through saddle points and minima of the potential energy surface, but it also selects the critical surfaces relevant to the ’’orbiting’’ and ’’nonadiabatic trapping’’ models of complex formation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
