In this approach, the activation energy is again determined from the points of intersection of the curve (more generally surface) of the radical-excited substrate bond potential energy with the curves of non-bonding interactions between the attacking radical and substrate or standard (Fig. 2). 

In a radiolysis study a product analysis, although necessary, is not sufficient to establish the reaction mechanism the source of the products must be ascertained. It is often possible to classify the product as arising from free-radical, excited-molecule, or ion reactions. 

Multireference Formalisms. - Whilst the generalization of MPn theory1111 -and, in particular, because of its efficiency, MP2 theory -is obviously an important requirement if many-body perturbation theory is to be applied to bond breaking processes, radicals, excited states and the like where a multireference formalism is mandated, a robust theory that be applied routinely to a wide range of problems has been elusive for over 25 years (see, for example, the discussion of the problems associated with multireference perturbation theory in my monograph53 Electron correlation in molecules published in 1984). 

Figure 2. Resonance Raman spectrum of phenoxyl radical excited at 399 nm (excimer-pumped dye laser), 0.5 ps after the electron pulse. Radical concentration is approximately 10 4 M. The S/N ratio for the 1505-cm band is better than 50/1.

Unfortunately, our knowledge about reactions in the adsorbed layer is far from complete. In such conditions, it is very difficult to meet the requirement of fullness of the reaction scheme. As a result, we fall into an exclusive circle. On the one hand, the necessary information about certain reaction intermediates and elementary steps, which has to be accounted for in the model, is missing. But, on the other hand, if some intermediates are not accounted for, reaction pathways related to them become omitted in simulations. For instance, if the escape of active species (atoms, radicals, excited molecules) from the metal surface to the gas phase and their capture by surface active sites are not accounted for, no coupling between gas-phase and surface chemistries can be derived from the modeling. 

Since electron energies of only lOOeV or less are required to break chemical bonds and to ionize or excite components of the coating system, the shower of scattered electrons produced in the coating leads to a uniform population of free radicals (excited... 

Resonance Raman spectroscopy has been shown to a particularly effective tool for differentiating between coordinated and uncoordinated phenoxyl radicals. Excitation into the 400 30 nm 7T 7T transition of metal-phenoxyl radical complexes leads to resonant enhancement of bands at l,500cm and 1,600cm. By analogy to experimental and calculated vibrational spectra for free phenoxyl radicals (e.g., these bands have been assigned as and j/ga modes,...
