Roaming reaction pathway in highly excited states from vacuum ultraviolet photodissociation of sulfur dioxide was revealed by using the Dalian Coherent Light Source. Credit: DICP Scientists have ...

Scientists have observed so-called 'roaming' chemical reactions, those that at certain points move away from the lowest minimum energy 'path of least resistance', in highly excited energy states for ...

(Nanowerk News) Chemical reactions are supposed to occur along their minimum energy paths. In recent years, so-called roaming reactions that stray far from this path have begun to be observed, but ...
