Rotationally Controlled Gas-Surface Reactions

Welcome to the home page of Helen Chadwick's research group based in the Chemistry Department at Swansea University, where we try and control gas-surface reactions by changing how the molecule is rotating as it approaches the surface. This is shown very schematically in the video to the left, where the blue 'helicopter' molecule dissociates and the green 'cartwheel' molecule scatters.
