Solid-state reactions energetic chains

The current status of the models of fluctuational and deformational preparation of the chemical reaction barrier is discussed in the Section 3. Section 4 is dedicated to the quantitative description of H-atom transfer reactions. Section 5 describes heavy-particle transfer models for solids, conceptually linked with developing notions about the mechanism of low-temperature solid-state chemical reactions. Section 6 is dedicated to the macrokinetic peculiarities of solid-state reactions in the region of the rate constant low-temperature plateau, in particular to the emergence of non-thermal critical effects determined by the development of energetic chains. 

In summary, we have reported a new class of intense chemiluminescent reactions (in liquid and solid phase) with uranium participation We have shown that decomposition of adamantylidenadamantane-l,2-dioxetane (DO), catalyzed by Eu(FOD)3, results in a quantum chain reactions with energetic branching We have revealed that Eu(III) ion in excited state forms more stable complex with organic ligands then that in ground state, which is a strong evidence for participation of the f-electrons in chemical bonding.
