Lindeman mechanism

F. 2.9 Pressiffe dependence of termolecular reaction rate constant for (a) Hinshelwood-Lindeman mechanism and (b) Tree s formula... 

From these considerations, the overall reaction rate constants of the OH -1-HONO2 can be expressed by the sum of pressure-independent and pressure-dependent ks 32 described by the Lindeman mechanism formula. 

Inelastic scattering of atoms and molecules is clearly of more physical interest than elastic scattering. This includes excitation or relaxation of rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom and also of electronic states. Rotational/vibrational inelasticity is important in understanding classical transport phenomena in gases, and the vibrational relaxation of highly excited molecules is of crucial importance for describing unimolecular reactions in, e.g. the Lindeman mechanism [68].
