✦ Synopsis

The concept of dynamic trajectories on the potential energy surface of magnetic and exchange interactions for cage reactions in a radical pair is formulated. The magnetic effects induced by static as well as by a combination of static and radiowave magnetic fields are considered as tools for magnetic probing of the exchange potential along the dissociating bond. Transition state radiospectroscopy as an analogue to the transition state femtosecond spectroscopy, developed by Zewail, is suggested.
