The use of Wigner and Eisenbud's R-matrix theory for molecular collisions is discussed. A model of harmonic oscillators is proposed; in this model the activated complex has one negative normal frequency. An example is calculated. The results show that for certain parameters of the potential energy function the experimental order of magnitude for the steric factor is obtained. When the range of the interacting potential increases, quite narrow Breit-Wigner resonances result. © 1966, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
