Surface convergence

Kemp s triacid skeletons), the overall conformation of (44) is either a C shape (shown) or an S shape (not shown). In the C-shaped conformation, recognition surfaces converge [arrows on structure (44) ], and the component parts cannot fit within the cleft. In the S-shaped conformation, a complex can form, but it is not productive the recognition surfaces diverge and reactive centers are too far apart from each other to form a covalent bond. Accordingly, selfcomplementarity is insufficient for replication it is necessary for the replication product to be able to achieve a cyclic conformation.

So far we have assumed the slick material to be collected and compacted by regions of surface convergence of the currents in the upper ocean. A wind of velocity V causes a surface drift that on the average is uniform and of the order of magnitude 0.03V. Such a surface drift will then tend to move the surface material relative to the underlying regions of convergence and thus upset the process of compactification of film material.

The above discussion represents a necessarily brief simnnary of the aspects of chemical reaction dynamics. The theoretical focus of tliis field is concerned with the development of accurate potential energy surfaces and the calculation of scattering dynamics on these surfaces. Experimentally, much effort has been devoted to developing complementary asymptotic techniques for product characterization and frequency- and time-resolved teclmiques to study transition-state spectroscopy and dynamics. It is instructive to see what can be accomplished with all of these capabilities. Of all the benclunark reactions mentioned in section A3.7.2. the reaction F + H2 —> HE + H represents the best example of how theory and experiment can converge to yield a fairly complete picture of the dynamics of a chemical reaction. Thus, the remainder of this chapter focuses on this reaction as a case study in reaction dynamics.

IlyperChem has a set of optimi/.ers available to es.plore potential surfaces. These differ in their generality, convergence properties and conipntaiioiial requirements. One must be somewhat pragmatic about optirn i/ation andswitch optirn izers or restart an optimizer when It encounters specific problems. 

It should converge to the true surface as more data become available.
