He and his students devised novel means to determine quantitative measurements of the efficiency of energy transfer between molecules in collisions: both gas-phase molecule–molecule collisions and collisions between molecules and solid surfaces. He established correlations between vibrational energy in molecules and rates of chemical reactions. He was the first researcher to experimentally validate important theories in physical chemistry such as the
