chemical kinetics
Time is an important variable in chemical kinetics. The classical chemical kinetics experiment method cannot be prepared singly quantum state The reactants produced by a single reaction collision cannot be detected Primary ecology product Systematic thermodynamics The equilibrium property cannot give information about chemical kinetics Chemical reaction process And put into practice, can not lack of chemical kinetics research.
Up to now, the calculation of quantum chemistry has not been able to obtain the reliable and complete potential energy surface of the reaction system. Therefore, the current reaction rate theory still has to borrow the classic statistical mechanics Treatment method of. Such treatment must be in some form Equilibrium hypothesis , thus making these Rate theory Not suitable for very fast reactions. Although there have been many studies on the applicability of Yu Heng hypothesis Equilibrium state The theoretical treatment of reaction rate is not yet mature.
molecular beam (i.e. molecular scattering), especially Cross molecular beam method The application of the study of chemical elementary reaction kinetics makes it possible to study single reaction collision in experiments. Molecular beam experiments have obtained many microscopic information about chemical elementary reactions that cannot be obtained by classical chemical dynamics, Molecular reaction dynamics It is a frontier of modern chemical dynamics.
The thermodynamic equilibrium properties of the system can not give chemical kinetics information. For example, for the following reaction: 2H two (Gas)+O two (Gas) → 2H two O (gas) Although H two 、O two And H two All of O Thermodynamic properties They all know exactly, but can only predict H two And O two Generate H two O, but cannot predict H two And O two What kind of reaction rate Generate H two O, Also cannot provide H two Molecule and O two What steps do molecules combine into H two O molecule information. So, fully understand a Chemical reaction process And put into practice, can not lack of chemical kinetics research. [1]

In the first half of the 20th century, a lot of research work was devoted to the determination of these parameters, theoretical analysis and the use of parameters to study the reaction mechanism. However, the confirmation of reaction mechanism mainly depends on detection and analysis reaction intermediate Ability. In the late 20th century, free radicals chain reaction The widespread development of kinetic research has brought two development trends to chemical kinetics: one is the extensive study of elementary reaction kinetics; Second, it is urgent to establish a method to detect active intermediates, which, together with the development of electronics and laser technology, has promoted Rapid reaction kinetics Development of. Detection of transient active intermediates time resolution It has increased from the millisecond level in the 1950s to picosecond Level. [1]

Chemical kinetics is research Chemical reaction rate (rate of reaction) and mechanism of reaction. The main contents of chemical kinetics include the following:
1) Determine the rate of chemical reaction and the influence of external factors such as temperature, pressure, catalyst, solvent and light on the reaction rate;
2) Study chemical reaction mechanism and reveal the essence of chemical reaction rate;
3) Explore the relationship and law between material structure and reaction ability.

Through the study of chemical kinetics, we can know how to control the reaction conditions, increase the rate of main reaction, increase the product output, inhibit the rate of side reaction, reduce the consumption of raw materials, reduce the by-products, improve the purity and improve the product quality. Chemical kinetics also studies how to avoid explosion of dangerous goods, corrosion of materials, deterioration and aging of products, etc. So the study of chemical kinetics has great significance in theory and practice.

Schematic diagram of chemical kinetics
Molecular reaction dynamics Research methods, from microcosmic At the molecular level of quantum state It is a single reaction collision behavior that the reactant molecules collide with each other, rearrange the atoms, produce the product molecules of a certain quantum state, and even separate from each other. use Transition state theory Explain that it is in the reaction system Superpotential energy surface Last representative system particle The act of crossing a reaction barrier. In principle, if we can quantum chemistry The correct Potential energy surface The parameters of reaction rate and chemical kinetics can be calculated by applying the laws of mechanics to calculate the trajectory of representative points on it. However, except for a few very simple chemical reactions, the calculation of quantum chemistry has not yet been able to obtain a reliable and complete potential energy surface of the reaction system. Therefore, the current reaction rate theory (such as Bimolecular reaction Collision theory Transition state theory) still has to borrow the treatment method of classical statistical mechanics. Such treatment must make some form of equilibrium assumption, so these rate theories are not applicable to very fast reactions. Although to Equilibrium hypothesis There have been many studies on the applicability of the theory of non-equilibrium state, but it is not mature to deal with the problem of reaction rate completely with the theory of non-equilibrium state. In the 1960s, it was difficult to carry out experimental research on chemical reactions at the molecular level. It applies advanced analytical methods of modern physical chemistry atom The dynamic structure, reaction process and reaction mechanism of elementary chemical reactions of single molecules in different states and different molecular systems are studied at the molecular level. It starts from the microscopic level of molecules Elementary reaction The rate and mechanism of the process, focusing on the internal movement of molecules and the interaction caused by collision of molecules Chemical base The dynamic behavior of meta process. Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences State Key Laboratory of Molecular Reaction Dynamics In this regard, research has made outstanding contributions.

Main concepts

reaction rate

Reaction rate is a measure of the speed of chemical reaction. Broadly speaking, it is the absolute value of the change of the amount of substances involved in the reaction with time. It can be divided into average rate and instantaneous rate. The average rate is the change of the amount of substances involved in the reaction within a certain time interval (Δ t) in the reaction process, which can be expressed by the decrease of reactants or the increase of products per unit time; Instantaneous rate Is the rate of change of concentration with time, that is, the tangent slope of the function on the concentration time image at a specific time. [2]

Reaction equilibrium

Reaction equilibrium: Thermodynamics studies the state when a reaction reaches reaction equilibrium. stay Reversible reaction Medium, reactants and products reach dynamic equilibrium , positive and reverse reactive rate The concentration of reactants and products will not change. It can be accessed through Haber process synthetic ammonia Chemical oscillation Reactions such as Belousov Zhabotinsky reaction (B-Z reaction), iodine clock reaction and other multi-component reaction processes are demonstrated. [2]

reaction mechanism

Reaction mechanism: although Chemical equation The stoichiometric ratio of each substance in is seemingly simple, but microscopically, a chemical reaction is usually completed through several steps. The branch of chemical kinetics that describes the microscopic process of chemical reaction is called reaction mechanism. In the reaction mechanism, each step of reaction is called Elementary reaction The total number of molecules of reactants in the elementary reaction is called Number of reaction molecules The reaction mechanism is composed of one or more elementary reactions, and the net reaction of these elementary reactions is the apparent chemical reaction.
