Abstract

The nature of chemical reactions is the breaking of old bonds and the formation of new bonds. Molecular reaction dynamics is the study on how the old bonds are broken and how the new bonds are formed. In the past few decades, molecular reaction dynamics is an important field of physical chemistry and chemical physics. Its main task is to study elementary chemical reaction processes on the atomic scale and femtosecond (even attosecond) time scale. The in-depth study of this field offers important knowledge to atmospheric chemistry, interstellar chemistry, as well as combustion chemistry, and deepens our understanding of the essential nature of chemical reactions in nature.
