Chemical Society Reviews

Chemical Society Reviews publishes accessible, succinct and reader-friendly articles on topics of current interest in the chemical sciences.



Gas kinetics and Professor Robin Walsh


20 March 2008

Chemical Society Reviews issue 4 celebrates the contributions of Professor Robin Walsh to gas kinetics with

a collection of articles on various aspects of the theories and measurement of reaction rate parameters. Five tutorial reviews and one critical review span a range of topics stretching from theories of chemical kinetics through reaction dynamics to applications in combustion chemistry and atmospheric chemistry, and the measurement of rate parameters at temperatures of relevance to the chemistry of the interstellar medium.

Reaction kinetics has come along way in recent years, and this collection of reviews reflects where the subject is now. 

To find out more, read the introduction to the articles provided by Professors George Marston and Ian Smith which is available as a PDF.

Links to the 6 review articles are also provided.
