摘要

A historical survey of beam scattering studies of ion-molecule reactions from the sixties up to the present time is presented. The centers of research that developed key instrumentation for these studies and early achievements in characterizing basic collisional mechanisms in scattering experiments are reviewed. Important classes of cation-molecule reaction dynamics, impulsive atom-transfer, reaction complexes, electron transfer (charge transfer) dynamics and the dynamics of negative ion-molecule reactions are described. Selected specific examples of ion-molecule reaction dynamics, including multiply-charged and ion-surface collisions, are briefly presented.
