Explore the microscopic foundations of chemical kinetics with ‘Theories of Molecular Reaction Dynamics: The Microscopic Foundation of Chemical Kinetics, Second Edition’. This essential graduate text, part of the Oxford Graduate Texts series, offers a systematic and clear theoretical framework for understanding how matter transforms at the atomic level. Focusing on analytical insights rather than computational methods, it delves into quantum and statistical mechanics to describe uni- and bi-molecular elementary reactions. Key topics include transition-state theory, reaction dynamics in condensed phases, adiabatic and non-adiabatic electron-nuclear dynamics, quantum tunnelling, and solvation models. With updated content and end-of-chapter problems, this book is crucial for advanced chemistry and physics students seeking a deep conceptual understanding of chemical reactions.
