Abstract

Fast reversible pseudo-unimolecular reactions do not approach equilibrium in the simple exponential fashion predicted by chemical rate equations. Many-body effects in bimolecular reactions have been revealed in an extensive series of Brownian simulations, showing up to three distinct phases in the approach to equilibrium. Recent theoretical developments are compared with the simulation as well as with experimental data concerning the pH effect in excited-state proton transfer to solvent.
