Recent advances in crossed-beam studies of bimolecular reactions

A critical overview of the recent progress in crossed-beam reactive scattering is presented. This review is not intended to be an exhaustive nor a comprehensive one, but rather a critical assessment of what we have been learning about bimolecular reaction dynamics using crossed molecular beams since year 2000. Particular emphasis is placed on the information content encoded in the product angular distribution-the trait of a typical molecular beam scattering experiment-and how the information can help in answering fundamental questions about chemical reactivity. We will start with simple reactions by highlighting a few benchmark three-atom reactions, and then move on progressively to the more complex chemical systems and with more sophisticated types of measurements. Understanding what cause the experimental observations is more than computationally simulating the results. The give and take between experiment and theory in unraveling the physical picture of the underlying dynamics is illustrated throughout this review.     

Laser control of chemical reactions

Chemical reactions are at the heart of chemistry and the dream of controlling the outcome of these reactions is an old one. Thus, with given reactants, a solvent and perhaps assisted by a catalyst, we would like to 'steer' the reactants into a particular desired product. This review focuses on how to control the dynamics of chemical reactions, beyond traditional temperature control, with the emphasis on unimolecular reactions. The electromagnetic radiation of lasers can induce so-called coherent dynamics. The recent theoretical and experimental results on this coherent control are explained and illustrated with computational and experimental examples.     

Femtosecond spectroscopy of cluster anions: insights into condensed-phase phenomena from the gas-phase

Ultrafast spectroscopy allows chemical and physical processes to be observed on time-scales faster than the nuclear motion within molecules. This tutorial review explores how such experiments, and specifically time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy on gas-phase cluster anions, provide a molecular-level understanding of the processes that are normally associated with condensed-phase dynamics.     

A Method to Determine the Dimension of Long-Time Dynamics in Multi-Scale Systems

Modeling reaction kinetics in a homogeneous medium usually leads to stiff systems of ordinary differential equations the dimension of which can be large. The problem of determination of the minimal number of phase variables needed to describe the characteristic behavior of large scale systems is extensively addressed in current chemical kinetics literature from different point of views. Only for a few of these approaches there exists a mathematical justification. In this paper we describe and justify a procedure allowing to determine directly how many and which state variables are essential in a neighborhood of a given point of the extended phase space. This method exploits the wide range of characteristic time-scales in a chemical system and its mathematical justification is based on the theory of invariant manifolds. The procedure helps to get chemical insight into the intrinsic dynamics of a complex chemical process.     

Exploring dynamical electron theory beyond the Born-Oppenheimer framework: from chemical reactivity to non-adiabatically coupled electronic and nuclear wavepackets on-the-fly under laser field

Chemical theory and its application to dynamical electrons in molecules under intense electromagnetic fields is explored, in which we take an explicit account of nuclear nonadiabatic (kinematic) interactions along with simultaneous coupling with intense optical interactions. All the electronic wavefunctions studied here are necessarily time-dependent, and thereby beyond stationary state quantum chemistry based on the Born-Oppenheimer framework. As a general and tractable alternative framework with which to track the electronic and nuclear simultaneous dynamics, we propose an on-the-fly method to calculate the electron and nuclear wavepackets coupled along the branching non-Born-Oppenheimer paths, through which their bifurcations, strong quantum entanglement between nuclear electronic motions, and coherence and decoherence among the phases associated with them are properly represented. Some illustrative numerical examples are also reported, which are aimed at our final goals; real time tracking of nonadiabatic electronic states, chemical dynamics in densely degenerate electronic states coupled with nuclear motions and manipulation and/or creation of new electronic states in terms of intense lasers, and so on. Other examples are also presented as to how the electron wavepacket dynamics can be used to analyze chemical reactions, shedding a new light on some typical and conventional chemical reactions such as proton transfer followed by tautomerization.     

Coherent Vibrational and Dissociation Dynamics of Polyatomic Radical Cations

The ultrafast dynamics of polyatomic radical cations contribute to important processes including energy transfer in photovoltaics, electron transfer in photocatalysis, radiation-induced DNA damage, and chemical reactions in the upper atmosphere and space. Probing these dynamics in the gas phase is challenging due to the rapid dissociation of polyatomic radical cations following electron removal, which arises from excess electronic excitation of the molecule during the ionization process. This Concept article introduces the reader to how the pump-probe technique of femtosecond time-resolved mass spectrometry (FTRMS) can overcome this challenge to capture coherent vibrational dynamics on the femtosecond timescale in polyatomic radical cations and enable the analysis of their dissociation pathways. Examples of FTRMS applied to three families of polyatomic radical cations are discussed.     

The C60 formation puzzle "solved": QM/MD simulations reveal the shrinking hot giant road of the dynamic fullerene self-assembly mechanism

The dynamic self-assembly mechanism of fullerene molecules is an irreversible process emerging naturally under the nonequilibrium conditions of hot carbon vapor and is a consequence of the interplay between the dynamics and chemistry of polyyne chains, pi-conjugation and corresponding stabilization, and the dynamics of hot giant fullerene cages. In this feature article we briefly present an overview of experimental findings and past attempts to explain fullerene formation and show in detail how our recent quantum chemical molecular dynamics simulations of the dynamics of carbon vapor far from thermodynamic equilibrium have assisted in the discovery of the combined size-up/size-down "shrinking hot giant" road that leads to the formation of buckminsterfullerene C60, C70, and larger fullerenes. This formation mechanism is the first reported case of order created out of chaos where a distinct covalent bond network of an entire molecule is spontaneously self-assembled to a highly symmetric structure and fully explains the fullerene formation process consistently with all available experimental observations a priori. Experimental evidence suggests that it applies universally to all fullerene formation processes irrespective of the carbon source.
