Faraday Discuss. 2012;157:501-4. doi: 10.1039/c2fd20120h.
The 157th Faraday Discussion represented a historic turning point in the development of the field of reaction dynamics because it concerned itself with how reactions occur in gases, in liquid, and at interfaces. Never before has the attempt been made to unify the various approaches to reaction dynamics in one Faraday Discussion meeting and to discover what language was common and what was special to these previously distinct subdisciplines. This Discussion also marked a maturation of the field of reaction dynamics in that so much emphasis was placed on what the combination of theory and experiment could tell us about the detailed course of chemical transformations.
第 157 届 Faraday 讨论代表了反应动力学领域发展的一个历史转折点，因为它涉及到反应在气体、液体和界面中是如何发生的。以前从未有过尝试将反应动力学的各种方法统一在一次 Faraday 讨论会议中，并发现这些以前截然不同的子学科中有哪些共同的语言，哪些是特殊的。这次讨论也标志着反应动力学领域的成熟，因为如此多的重点放在了理论和实验的结合可以告诉我们关于化学转化的详细过程。
