Abstract
An extension to transition state theory is presented that is capable of computing quantitatively the diffusivity of adsorbed molecules in confined systems at nonzero loading. This extension to traditional transition state theory yields a diffusivity in excellent agreement with that obtained by conventional molecular dynamics simulations. While molecular dynamics calculations are limited to relatively fast diffusing molecules or small rigid molecules, our approach extends the range of accessible time scales significantly beyond currently available methods. It is applicable in any system containing free energy barriers and for any type of guest molecule.Keywords
