The concept of the steric effect in molecular collisions is central to chemistry. In this Perspective article we review some of the progress made in studying the steric effect in inelastic and reactive collisions involving relatively small isolated atomic and molecular species. We overview the theoretical framework used to quantify the steric effect, and outline some of the key experimental approaches that can be employed to study the dynamics and mechanism of collisions involving oriented and aligned molecules. We illustrate the discussion by highlighting a few recent studies of inelastic and reactive scattering. Finally, we conclude with some reflections on possible future directions of interest.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
