A review of the ICTAC Kinetics Project, 2000: Part 1. Isothermal results

The ICTAC Kinetics Project is reviewed comparing the isothermal results of the various contributors, pointing out the various discrepancies seen. Instead of using the commercially available computer programs, which differed between contributors, our own computer programs are written to repeat the calculations for the methods given in the paper. The results of our methods agree very well with each other, but differ very much from the original paper. Reasons for this are suggested and recommendations are made to try to get consistent results in future.
