Moscow, Khimia (1969).
Important Contributions:
First calculations of potential energy surfaces for organic reactions (1969-1973);
the theory of structure of potential energy surfaces, reaction coordinate and
reaction path Hamiltonian (1977-1982); models and calculations for the quantum dynamics
of gas phase exchange and decay reactions (1975-1985); calculations on the mechanisms
of chemical reactions in molecular crystals (1979-1984); the theory of chemical reactions
under high pressure (1985-1991); the stochastic theory of chemical reactions in polar media (1989-1992).
