Description for Reaction Path in Chemistry
Hardback. The reaction pathway (RP) technique is a powerful tool in theoretical chemistry and chemical reaction theory. This book discusses the background of the concept, both mathematical and physical, and outlines various developments. It describes different approaches to the RP, with particular emphasis on gradient extremals. Editor(s): Heidrich, D. Series: Understanding Chemical Reactivity. Num Pages: 300 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PNR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 19. Weight in Grams: 1360.
The so-called reaction path (RP) with respect to the potential energy or the Gibbs energy ("free enthalpy") is one of the most fundamental concepts in chemistry. It significantly helps to display and visualize the results of the complex microscopic processes forming a chemical reaction. This concept is an implicit component of conventional transition state theory (TST). The model of the reaction path and the TST form a qualitative framework which provides chemists with a better understanding of chemical reactions and stirs their imagination. However, an exact calculation of the RP and its neighbourhood becomes important when the RP is used ... Read more

Reviews for Reaction Path in Chemistry
` ... will be of use to any chemist with a desire to know about how chemical reactions are described in detail. It is especially useful for the computationally minded researcher who wants to go beyond the standard description of chemical reactions in terms of structures of reactant(s), transition state, and product(s).' ...
