Classical transition state theory background

The thermodynamic formulation of the transition state theory is useful in considerations of reactions in solution when one is examining a particular class of reactions and wants to extrapolate kinetic data obtained for one reactant system to a second system in which the same function groups are thought to participate (see Section 7.4). For further discussion of the predictive applications of this approach and its limitations, consult the books by Benson (59) and Laidler (60). Laidler s kinetics text (61) and the classic by Glasstone, Laidler, and Eyring (54) contain additional useful background material. [Pg.118]

This text of the two-volume treatment contains most of the theoretical background necessary to understand experiments in the field of phonons. This background is presented in four basic chapters. Chapter 2 starts with the diatomic linear chain. In the classical theory we discuss the periodic boundary conditions, equation of motion, dynamical matrix, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, acoustic and optic branches and normal coordinates. The transition to quantum mechanics is achieved by introducing the Sohpddingev equation of the vibrating chain. This is followed by the occupation number representation and a detailed discussion of the concept of phonons. The chapter ends with a discussion of the specific heat and the density of states. [Pg.11]
