Various techniques are employed to analyze complex reaction networks, including kinetic modeling, spectroscopic methods, and computational simulations. Kinetic modeling involves developing mathematical models to describe the rates of individual steps within the network. Spectroscopic methods such as NMR and IR spectroscopy help in identifying intermediates and tracking the progress of reactions in real-time. Computational simulations using density functional theory (DFT) provide insights into the potential energy surfaces and transition states.
