Abstract :
[en] Reaction mechanisms can be determined from ab initio calculations of potential energy surfaces. Their complicated nature explains the frequent success of statistical theories, but non-statistical behaviour is also accounted for. A certain correlation between structure and reactivity can be established, subject to many qualifications. Information on the nuclear motion on the potential energy surfaces of an ionized molecule can be extracted from a photoelectron spectrum by a Fourier transform operation.
