Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
This course provides a detailed discussion of chemical reaction mechanisms that go beyond traditional transition state theory, as revealed by modern chemical reaction dynamics methods, while reviewing the fundamentals of chemical reaction theory. Advanced experimental techniques, including ultrafast spectroscopy, are explained, and approaches to elucidating molecular- and quantum-level chemical phenomena are introduced.
