摘要
Very recently, methods have been developed for studying the rates of chemical reactions between electrically neutral species in the gas phase at temperatures as low as 13 K. Here we review this exciting development in gas-phase chemical kinetics. Emphasis is placed on the importance of the information which the experiments have provided, both from the viewpoint of posing new questions about the factors which control chemical reactivity and because of their relevance to the modelling of molecular synthesis in interstellar clouds.
