Welcome to the Controlled Chemical Reactions group!

What exactly happens during a chemical reaction? Our aim is to completely understand and, ultimately, fully control chemical reactions on the molecular level. We therefore investigate reactive collisions, in which chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed, between individual molecules in the gas phase. We make use of advanced experimental techniques to study these reactions in extremely high detail.

Our group is part of the Spectroscopy of Cold Molecules department within the Institute for Molecules and Materials of the Radboud University.
