After my acceptance of the kind invitation from Todd Martínez and Mark Johnson, Co-Editors of this journal, to write this article, I had to decide just how to actually do this, given the existence of a fairly personal and extended autobiographical account of recent vintage detailing my youth, education, and assorted experiences and activities at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and later also at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris ( 1 ). In the end, I settled on a differently styled recounting of the adventures with my students, postdocs, collaborators, and colleagues in trying to unravel, comprehend, describe, and occasionally even predict the manifestations and consequences of the myriad assortment of molecular dances that contribute to and govern the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions in solution (and elsewhere). The result follows.
在我接受本期刊的共同编辑托德·马丁内斯和马克·约翰逊的盛情邀请撰写本文后,鉴于已有一篇相当个人化且篇幅较长的近期自传体记述,详细讲述了我的青年时期、教育经历以及在科罗拉多大学博尔德分校和后来在巴黎高等师范学校的各种经历与活动(1),我不得不决定究竟该如何撰写此文。最终,我选择以一种不同风格来讲述我与学生、博士后、合作者及同事们的经历,我们试图解开、理解、描述,甚至偶尔预测那些构成并支配溶液(以及其他地方)化学反应速率和机制的无数分子“舞蹈”的表现及后果。结果如下。
