The Twenty Sixth Jerusalem Symposium reflected the high standards
of these distinguished scientific meetings, which convene once a
year at the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Jerusalem
to discuss a specific topic in the broad area of quantum chemistry
and biochemistry. The topic at this year's Jerusalem Symposium was
reaction dynamics in clusters and condensed phases, which
constitutes a truly interdisciplinary subject of central interest
in the areas of chemical dynamics, kinetics, photochemistry and
condensed matter chemical physics. The main theme of the Symposium
was built around the exploration of the interrelationship between
the dynamics in large finite clusters and in infinite bulk systems.
The main issues addressed microscopic and macroscopic sol vation
phenomena, cluster and bulk spectroscopy, photodissociation and
vibrational predissociation, cage effects, interphase dynamics,
reaction dynamics and energy transfer in clusters, dense fluids,
liquids, solids and biophysical systems. The interdisciplinary
nature of this research area was deliberated by intensive and
extensive interactions between modern theory and advanced
experimental methods. This volume provides a record of the invited
lectures at the Symposium.
The Twenty Fourth Jerusalem Symposium reflected the high standards
of these distinguished scientific meetings, which convene once a
year at the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Jerusalem
to discuss a specific topic in the broad area of quantum chemistry
and biochemistry. The topic at this year's Jerusalem Symposium was
mode selective chemistry, which constitutes a truly
interdisciplinary subject of central interest in the areas of
chemical physics, photochemistry and photobiology. The main theme
of the Symposium was built around the exploration of the
possibility and conditions for non-statistical reaction dynamics in
molecules, van der Waals molecules, clusters and condensed phases.
The main issues addressed photoselective and coherent excitation
modes, bottlenecks for intramolecular vibrational energy
redistribution, the consequences of the internal structure of
many-atom systems and of rotational vibrational level structure for
intramolecular dynamics, bond selective photodissociation,
ultrafast chemical clocks for energy disposal, coherent control of
photochemical reactions and nonstatistical unimolecular reaction
dynamics. The interdisciplinary nature of this research area was
deliberated by intensive and extensive interactions between theory
and experiment. This volume provides a record of the invited

Algebraic Theory of Molecules presents a fresh look at the mathematics of wave functions that provide the theoretical underpinnings of molecular spectroscopy. Written by renowned authorities in the field, the book demonstrates the advantages of algebraic theory over the more conventional geometric approach to developing the formal quantum mechanics inherent in molecular spectroscopy. Many examples are provided that compare the algebraic and geometric methods, illustrating the relationship between the algebraic approach and current experiments. The authors develop their presentation from a basic level so as to enable newcomers to enter the field while providing enough details and concrete examples to serve as a reference for the expert. Chemical physicists, physical chemists, and spectroscopists will want to read this exciting new approach to molecular spectroscopy.

Lasers and chemical change is the study of radiation and molecules
in dis equilibrium. The distinguishing feature of such systems is
the extreme de parture from thermal equilibrium: the radiation is
usually confined to a narrow frequency range, is well coll imated,
and is far brighter than black body radiation; the chemical
composition and also the distribution of mole cules over their
different energy states are often markedly displaced from that
expected at equilibrium. Such systems can be used as a source of
laser radiation and, reversedly, lasers can rapidly and selectively
displace mole cular systems from equilibrium. The subsequent
evolution of the initially prepared state can then be monitored -
again using lasers. One purpose of this book is to introduce the
concepts required to d- cuss systems of radiation and molecules in
disequilibrium. These include the physics of (laser) radiation and
of radiation-matter interaction and molecular structure and
spectroscopy. Excellent textbooks of these topics are available and
our survey (in Chap. 3) is only intended to accent the es sential
points, with special reference to atomic and molecular radiation
physics. Considerably more attention is given to the topic of
disequilibrium in chemical systems (Chap. 2). In particular we
consider both inter- and intra molecular dynamics with special
reference to energy requirements and energy disposal in chemical
reactions and to what goes on in between - intramole cular energy
migration."
