The animations for each reaction were prepared from trajectories calculated as part of a chemical dynamics simulation. A trajectory determines the positions of all the atoms as a function of time and one can study atomic-level mechanisms for chemical reactions and molecular collisions. To compare with an experiment, a large number of trajectories must be calculated to properly average all the different possibilities for the initial positions, velocities, orientations, etc. of the reactant molecules. The following animations are for representative trajectories among the large number which were calculated. The animations were prepared using the VMD software developed by the Klaus Schulten research group, University of Illinois. http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd |
