<abstract language="eng">The present review summarizes the most relevant results of our research group obtained recently in the field of unimolecular reaction dynamics. The following processes are specifically analyzed: the isomerization, dissociation and elimination in methyl nitrite, the fragmentation reactions of the mercaptomethyl cation, the C-CO dissociation in the acetyl and propionyl radicals, and the decomposition of vinyl fluoride. In all the cases, only state- or energy-selected systems are considered. Special emphasis is paid to the possibility of systems exhibiting non-statistical behavior.
