Abstract
A theoretical critical configuration is described which yields calculated rate parameters in agreement with those measured for both the decomposition and recombination reactions in the ethane‐methyl radical system. It is shown that if structural effects in the molecule are considered as the reaction co‐ordinate is extended, this critical configuration is nearly identical to one determined by using the concept of minimum state density.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
