Lindemann-Hinshelwood unimolecular framework: k_uni = k₁·k₂·[M]/(k₋₁·[M] + k₂) (fall-off between 2nd and 1st order)

Lindemann-Hinshelwood unimolecular reaction mechanism: A + M ⇌ A* (rate constants k₁ forward, k₋₁ reverse); A* → products (rate k₂). Steady-state in [A*] gives k_uni = k₁·k₂·[M]/(k₋₁·[M] + k₂). The mechanism explains how…
