Abstract

Intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution has been much studied because of the important role it plays in theories of unimolecular reactions and in dictating the feasibility of bond-selective chemistry. In this review we survey some of the more recent experimental studies and hope to provide a general introduction along with some present day conclusions.
