The last decade has witnessed significant advances in the ability
to generate short light pulses throughout the optical spectrum.
These developments have had a tremendous impact on the field of
chemical dynamics. Fundamental questions concerning chemical
reactions, once thought to be unaddressable, are now easily studied
in real-time experiments. Ultrafast spectroscopies are currently
being used to study a variety of fundamental chemical phenomena.
This book focuses on some of the experimental and associated
theoretical studies of reactions in clusters, liquid and solid
media. Many of the advances in our understanding of the fundamental
details of chemical reactivity result from the interplay of
experiment and theory. This theme is present in many of the
chapters, indicating the pervasiveness of a combined approach for
eludicating molecular models of chemical reactions. With parallel
developments in computer simulation, complex chemical sys tems are
being studied at a molecular level. The discussions presented in
this book recount many areas at the forefront of "ultrafast
chemistry." They serve the purpose of both bringing the expert up
to date with the work being done in many laboratories as well as
introducing those not directly involved in this field to the
diverse set of problems that can be studied. I hope that this book
conveys the excitement that both I and the other authors in this
volume feel about the field of ultrafast chemistry. John D. Simon
