Notes:
A theoretical treatment is given for fast, multiple bond-switching reactions, such as NO + NH2 → N2 + H2O. These reactions are characterized by all or most of the bonds being broken. The collision complex involved (whether long or short lived) is shown to be extremely anharmonic. Consideration of the master equation describing the competing processes of complex formation, internal rearrangement and collisional deactivation yields easily applied sufficient conditions for the recombination rate coefficient being independent of pressure.
