Abstract

The need for reliable reaction rate data for the analysis of complex gas-phase reaction systems has stimulated the production of tables of critically evaluated rate constants. The procedures and criteria used in such evaluations are outlined and some of their limitations discussed. The part played by theory in guiding the evaluator is discussed and illustrated with examples from decomposition--combination reactions. Attention is drawn to the particular problems associated with evaluation of the temperature dependence of rate constants. 2 figures.
