A glossary of terms used in chemical kinetics, including reaction dynamics (IUPAC recommendations 1996)

Abstract

This Glossary is a compilation of terminology recommendations in the field of chemical kinetics. Every effort has been made to include what appear to be the most commonly accepted definitions. Is is hoped that the Glossary will be a helpful guide to those who are writing books and articles in the field. The reader is warned, however, that alternative definitions of some of the terms, such as Adiabatic and Rate-Controlling Step, are frequently to be found in the scientific literature. Expressions shown in italics are to be found as separate items in this glossary. © 1996, Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston. All rights reserved.
