Title: Reactions of Fluorine and Chlorine Atoms with Water and the Water Dimer
Abstract:
The ubiquitousness of water on our planet makes the study of many of its
elementary chemical reactions of fundamental importance, or even of applied
importance for atmospheric and combustion chemistry. This lecture will be
concerned with some of the simplest reactions of water and the water dimer.
Seemingly similar reactions with halogen atoms turn out to have very different
energy landscapes and dynamics.
