Vibrationally Mediated Photodissociation (VMP) deals with the influence of vibrational excitation of the ground electronic state of a molecule on its dissociation following excitation of this state to a higher electronic state. Aimed at students and academics, this is the first book devoted to the effect of vibrational pre-excitation on molecular dynamics in the gas phase. In particular, it deals with the influence of this excitation on the dissociation of molecules (ie: on the branching ratio between the dissociation products and its dependence on the vibrational state being excited). The book serves as an introduction to VMP for beginners and as a literature guide to those acquainted with the subject but not necessarily working on VMP. | Vibrationally Mediated Photodissociation by Salman Rosenwaks, Perfect | Indigo Chapters
