Femtochemistry
A + B-C A-B + C
Chemical reaction kinetics: Task of making a motion picture of a reaction.
Making new bonds and breaking old ones: subpicosecond time scale.
Difficulties of a movie-maker: Too many transient actors on the stage!!!!!
Chemistry on the 10-15 Sec time scale!
Complete evolution of chemical event
Femtosecond laser pulses : sub-angstrom motion could be watched!!!!!!

Time scale of reactions
Terminal velocities of separation of fragments A and BC ~ 0.01 Angstrom fs-1
Time required to break the bond ~ few 100 fs !!!!
Saddle points
~104 – 105 cm/s

Theoretical femtochemistry
1930: Evans, Polanyi & Eyring concept of Transition state
1936: Hirschfelder, Eyring, and Topley
H + H - H H - H + H
Flash photolysis with onlyms (10-3 s) resolution in 1949 !!!

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to
Professor Ahmed H. Zewail, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA
for showing that it is possible with rapid laser technique to see how atoms in a molecule move during a chemical reaction.
The Academy's citation:For his studies of the transition states of chemical reactions using femtosecond spectroscopy.
