The Distorted Wave Theory of Chemical Reactions

  • Chapter
The Theory of Chemical Reaction Dynamics

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 170))

Abstract

A review is given of recent applications of the distorted wave (DW) method to the theory of chemical reactions. A brief account of the following topics is included: the formal DW theory of reactions, static and adiabatic methods for choosing the distortion potentials, and the removal of the 3 Euler angles from the 6 dimensional DW integral. Applications of various DW theories to the HH+H2, H+F2. O(3P)+H2. O(3P) +C(CH3) 4. O(3P)+HC(CH3)3. He+H2 +. F+H2 and CI+HCI chemical reactions and isotopic variations are discussed.
