Molecular orientation effects trajectory

That there are differences in reactivity for different orientations of reactants in collisions has long been a basic idea in chemistry. The actual effects of orientation on reactivity were first explicitly measured in crossed molecular beam experiments in 1966, and since then there have been continuous efforts to explore these effects in various systems by both experimental and theoretical methods. An example of the use of classical trajectories to investigate the influence of orientation effects in reactions is a recent study of the reaction ...
