However, I need to understand how to transition into calculations for high pressure systems. Could you recommend any references that deal specifically with the pressure dependence of reaction rate constants, and how it is addressed in computational chemistry? Questions I have are: - Can TST based methods be adapted to high pressure systems? - What is meant by "3 body reactions" in many kinetics mechanisms? - What is meant by the pressure dependence "fall-off" in some reaction rate constant descriptions? Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated. -RD --0015173fe52af75fe4049efe5381 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have been working on calculating reaction rate constants at the low press= ure limit using TST type methodologies.

Lately, my machine has restarted during my calculates so, i suspect that is because G09W is not compatible with the operative system. However, i am not sure. If anyone knows the reason of this problem or have suggestions, please let me know. Thanks in advance. Dario Fernando Coral Obando Chemistry Student Universidad de Nario, Pasto, Colombia
