Abstract
For SN2 reactions of the type Y–+ MeX → YMe + X–, there exist extended linear correlations between (i) the magnitude of the central barrier and the percentage elongation of the C–X bond in the transition state; (ii) the looseness of the transition state and the sum of the forward and reverse central barriers.Keywords
