Selectivity in Elementary Chemical Reactions

  • Chapter
Selectivity in Chemical Reactions

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 245))

Abstract

This introductory paper presents a brief version of those areas of molecular reaction dynamics relevant to the subject of the Workshop. These include the following: influence of reagent’s electronic, vibrational and rotational states upon reactivity; spin-orbit effects in elementary reactions, and dynamical aspects of stereochemistry, with special emphasis on orientation and alignment effects in chemical reactions.

Selectivity with respect to reagents leads to specificity with respect to products, exemplified by non-statistical branching ratios, anisotropy of angular distribution and “surprising” product state distributions. The importance of vector correlations (from crossed beam experiments with polarized laser-induced fluorescence detection) is touched upon, as well as the subject of polarized laser photofragmentation dynamics (half-collisions) leading to (non-statistical) specificity in product polarizations.

An important subject of this paper is that of reagent preparation and stereoselectivity. Experimental techniques for production of oriented (and of aligned) molecules and their theoretical description are outlined. Reactive asymmetry experiments using oriented molecule beams are briefly reviewed, and new approaches described. Results are presented of recent experiments which take advantage of the inherent mutual orientation of the molecules in a van der Waals complex, i.e., “precursor geometry-limited” bimolecular reactions. Finally, a new technique is described for real time, picosecond, clocking of the collision complex in such bimolecular reactions. Results are reported for the time-dependent birth of OH from H + CO2.
