Recent work on Franck--Condon factors in studies of the dynamics of chemical reactions is related; emphasis was on simple chemical rearrangement reactions. Other work concerned collision-free unimolecular decomposition of large molecules at a given total energy, equations of motion for simple quantum systems that are strongly driven by an external field and are modulated stochastically by a coupling to a bath, and the efficiency of rate processes in irreversible chemical reactions. This report is descriptive in nature; results of the work have been published in appropriate journals, and an extensive publication list is included. (RWR)
