Feshbach resonances are not restricted to small reactive systems such as F + H2 and I + HI but can be found in many reactive systems. In this paper, the concept of the partial potential energy surface (PPES) is introduced. It is shown that the dynamic “Lake Eyring” explains very well the existence of reactive resonances in elementary chemical reactions. In particular, the PPESs of the Cl + CH3CH2Br and Cl + CH3CH2CH2Br systems, including the minimum energy path and the vibrational potential energy curves, were constructed using quantum chemistry methods. Based on the constructed PPESs, the scattering resonance states of these reactions could be examined and the resonance state lifetimes were estimated.

This chapter discusses potential energy surfaces, that is, the electronic energy as a function of the internuclear coordinates as obtained from the electronic Schrödinger equation. It focuses on the general topology of such energy surfaces for unimolecular and bimolecular reactions. To that end, concepts like saddle point, barrier height, minimum-energy path, and early and late barriers are discussed. It concludes with a discussion of approximate analytical solutions to the electronic Schrödinger equation, in particular, the interaction of three hydrogen atoms expressed in terms of Coulomb and exchange integrals, as described by the so-called London equation. From this equation it is concluded that the total electronic energy is not equal to the sum of H–H pair energies. Finally, a semi-empirical extension of the London equation—the LEPS method—allows for a simple but somewhat crude construction of potential energy surfaces.
