The theory/model proposed herein remains a better fit to empirical findings for all
polyatomic molecules. Importantly, it does not rely upon the exceptions that plague the traditionally accepted degrees of freedom based kinetic theory.

(11-18) Extension of such studies to atom + polyatom and diatom + diatom systems is critical for elucidating the multidimensional dynamics of
polyatomic molecules. When studying these reactions, it is essential to measure the velocity distributions of quantum-state-selected reaction products.
Among the topics are numerical methods, measuring absolute cross sections of electron scattering by isolated molecules, applying nonlocal resonance theory to diatomic molecules, and vibrational excitations of
polyatomic molecules.
Contributors describe their work in integral equation theories (including bridge functions and applications to classical fluids), the chemical environment of ionic liquids (including the links between liquid structure, dynamics and solvation), counter-ion condensation in nucleic acids, physiochemical applications of scanning electrochemical microscopy, certain shapes of centrosymmetric cyclic dimers involving weak hydrogen bonds, and time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of nonadiabatic dynamics in
polyatomic molecules.
Obviously, the idea is applicable to
polyatomic molecules at real density.
