Stereochemistry and Control in Molecular Reaction Dynamics

The stereochemistry of elementary reactions is discussed and the following areas are covered in experimental and theoretical papers: Frequency and time resolved studies of molecular photodissociation or photoinitiated processes, control of reactivity via collision energy, selective vibration of reagents, or reagent alignment and demonstrations of active or coherent control of chemical processes. 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.
