Abstract
Since one of our ultimate goals is to develop quantitative models which are applicable over a wide range of temperatures and pressures - a range often beyond that for which there are data – it is frequently necessary to fit and extrapolate from the rate data at hand. Even for bimolecular reactions, conventional Arrhenius expressions are generally valid for only a few hundred degrees, and the degree of curvature must be assessed. In other reactions, additional complications may arise, including pressure dependence and multi-channel chemically activated pathways.
