Informationen zum Autor Faraday Discussions documents a long-established series of Faraday Discussion meetings which provide a unique international forum for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The papers presented are published in the Faraday Discussion volume together with a record of the discussion contributions made at the meeting. Faraday Discussions therefore provide an important record of current international knowledge and views in the field concerned. The latest (2012) impact factor of Faraday Discussions is 3.82. Klappentext The study of gas-phase molecular reaction dynamics has long proved to be a central and fruitful field of research! with impact in many areas of science! for both experimental and theoretical physical chemists/chemical physicists. This discussion is particularly timely because of the exciting developments of the last decade. Zusammenfassung While further advances in the characterization of gas-phase reactions are actively pursued, the methods and concepts developed so far are also the basis of the molecular approach of investigations of reaction dynamics at interfaces (gas-liquid and gas-solid) and in condensed phases.
