Abstract
This paper reviews the reactive flux correlation function approach to studying the classical dynamics of activated processes in liquids. The possibilities and consequences of nonadiabatic electronic transitions in affecting this dynamics is also considered. We emphasize the feasibility of quantitative trajectory studies and the fact that these studies have yet to be fully exploited in the development of approximate theories of activated processes.
