Molecular Reaction Stereodynamics: In Search of Paths to Overcome Steric Hindrances to Reactivity

  • Conference paper
Theory of Chemical Reaction Dynamics

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry ((NAII,volume 145))

Conclusions

In the preceding sections we have listed experimental progress and theoretical analysis on the theme of how to overcome obstacles to reactivity by acting on the preexponential (steric factor) ingredient of the Arrhenius equation, a not so often exploited path with respect to the conventional catalysis mechanisms which operate mainly on the activation energy. Our point of view has been at the level of microscopic elementary processes and it is anticipated that possible practical applications will necessitate further effort at this level.
