Abstract
The study of chemistry is the study of chemical reactivity, — of how reactions take place. It is known that chemical transformations take place through a sequence of elementary reactions. These elementary reactions determine the outcome of the reaction sequence. In the past one determined the overall reaction, possibly determined the kinetics of the reaction, and the dependence on parameters such as the dielectric constant or the proton affinity of the solvent. From these data one then created a mechanism which explained the reactions. Now it has become possible to measure the elementary reactions that make up mechanisms. These measurements have become sufficiently routine so that the chemist, who wants to learn more about a particular chemical reaction, can find a technique to help him.
Work performed under the auspices of the Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Division of Chemical Science, US-DOE under contract number W-31-109-ENG-38
