Vibrationally Mediated Photodissociation (VMP) deals with the influence of vibrational excitation of the ground electronic state of a molecule on its dissociation following excitation of this state to a higher electronic state. The author, Salman (Zamik) Rosenwaks from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, presents the methodology via state-of-the-art examples. The level of presentation is appropriate for senior undergraduate and graduate students of chemistry and physics. It is intended to serve as an introduction to VMP for beginners and as a literature guide to those acquainted with the subject but not necessarily working on VMP.
