Abstract:

Recent advances in experimental and theoretical studies of liquid interfaces provide remarkable evidence for the unique properties of these systems. In this review we examine how these properties affect the thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions which take place at the liquid/vapor interface and at the liquid/liquid interface. We demonstrate how the rapidly varying density and viscosity, the marked changes in polarity and the surface roughness manifest themselves in isomerization, electron transfer and photodissociation reactions.

More about this publication?

Progress in Reaction Kinetics & Mechanism is an international journal for the quarterly publication of both in-depth reviews and research articles.
In-depth reviews are comprehensive accounts bringing together work from many sources with the aim of providing an article of lasting value that will become established as the reference source in the particular subject. Research articles, on the other hand, normally focus on a relatively new or recently developed field or technique giving a state-of-the-art account of the subject and may well refer to a narrower range of existing work. It covers the fields of kinetics and mechanisms of chemical processes in the gas phase and solution of both simple and complex systems.
