Dynamics of excited molecules: predissociation
Article Abstract:
Molecules undergo predissociation when they are excited to a discrete level. The predissociation of molecules are classified by the location and shape of the potential curves. The mechanisms of predissociation include nonadiabatic, electron-rotation, spin-orbit, or hyperfine interactions or interaction by external fields. The experimental methods for detecting predissociation are high-resolution, time-resolved, and photofragment spectroscopy. The predissociation of different diatomic and polyatomic molecules are given.

Designing small molecules for biodegradability
Article Abstract:
The effects of chemical structure and environmental variables on biodegradability are discussed with emphasis on generalizations. A review of examples from high-volume existing chemicals that illustrate biodegradability design principles is presented.
