N2 - A new area in dynamics, characterized by collision times shorter than hitherto studied, is discussed with special reference to four-center reactions. Under the unusual combination of conditions made possible within an impact heated cluster, the nominally four-center reactions can be made to proceed (on the computer) via the four-center mechanism as suggested by Bodenstein. It is even possible to achieve multi-center (> 4) reactions. The unique features of the new dynamical regime are discussed and illustrated by a variety of high-barrier processes, including the four center H2 + I2 → 2HI and N2 + O2 → 2NO reactions and a multi-center "burning of air" process.
