Even in a molecule the size of benzene the resolution achieved in this way is sufficient to investigate the dynamic behavior of individual rotational states. For this it is necessary to eliminate the Doppler broadening of the rovibronic transitions. Two methods have been applied (i) the elimination of Doppler broadening in a Doppler-free two-photon-transition and (ii) the reduction of Doppler broadening in a molecular beam. Measurements of the dynamic behavior have been performed in the frequency [3] and time domain [4]. We will briefly summarize the results from high-resolution measurements and discuss the conclusions on the intramolecular decay mechanism. Then it will be discussed how the intramolecular dynamics is influenced by the attachment of an Ar or Kr atom to the benzene molecule, leading to a weakly bound van der Waals complex. 

In this section we present experimental results for the lifetime of individual rovibronic states of benzene at different excess energies in the Si electronic state. In this way the dependence of the lifetime of the states on their excess energy and their rotational quantum number is studied. A general model for the underlying coupling mechanism is presented, and the influence of a van der Waals bound noble-gas atom on the intramolecular dynamics is investigated. 

In conclusion in this work we have presented basic information on the nature of the coupling processes leading to the intramolecular dynamics in isolated molecules. This information is useful for the understanding of the origin and mechanism of the fast femtosecond energy flow in high valence and low Rydberg states. 

The unzipping procedure reveals the diagnostically significant trends in fractionation widths and patterns illustrated by Figure 3. These trends can lead to qualitative insights into IVR mechanisms and can suggest optimal schemes for external control over intramolecular dynamics. The unzipped polyads can also yield quantitative least-squares refinements of anharmonic coupling constants, from which any dynamical quantity based on (Q, 0 may be calculated. 

Heijboer [28] has reported the dynamic mechanical properties of poly(nethacrylate)s with different size of the saturated ring as side chain. The y relaxation in these polymers is attributed to a conformational transition in the saturated ring. In the case of poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate), the transition is between the two chair conformations in the cyclohexyl ring. However, this type of internal motion in hindered by rather high intramolecular barriers, which can reach about 11 kcal mol-1. 

A classical mechanical % provides insights into intramolecular dynamics, guided by the powerful diagnostic tools of nonlinear classical dynamics. The action-angle representation of a classical mechanical problem is easily derived from the spectroscopic Heff. In fact, the action-angle picture lies at the core of Heisenberg s version of the Correspondence Principle (Heisenberg, 1925). The prescription is that... 

The phase space structures for two identical coupled anharmonic oscillators are relatively simple because the trajectories lie on the surface of a 2-dimensional manifold in a 4-dimensional phase space. The phase space of two identical 2-dimensional isotropic benders is 8-dimensional, the qualitative forms of the classifying trajectories are far more complicated, and there is a much wider range of possibilities for qualitative changes in the intramolecular dynamics. The classical mechanical polyad 7feff conveys unique insights into the dynamics encoded in the spectrum as represented by the Heff fit model. 

The subject material in the 16 chapters of this volume falls into the broad area of research in chemical dynamics. Chapters 1 to 4 deal with intramolecular dynamics and spectroscopy. Chapter 5, on grid methods, then serves as a bridge to Chapters 6 to 12, which are concerned with quantum mechanical approaches to reaction dynamics. Chapters 13 to 15 deal with semiclassical and classical approaches to reaction dynamics, and the volume concludes with a chapter on activated rate processes. The authors were selected because of their expertise in the areas described in their chapters.

Anharmonic corrections have also been determined for unimolecular rate constants using classical mechanics. In a classical trajectory (Bunker, 1962, 1964) or a classical Monte Carlo simulation (Nyman et al., 1990 Schranz et al., 1991) of the unimolecular decomposition of a microcanonical ensemble of states for an energized molecule, the initial decomposition rate constant is that of RRKM theory, regardless of the molecule s intramolecular dynamics (Bunker, 1962 Bunker, 1964). This is because a...
