Figure B2.4.2. Eyring plot of log(rate/7) versus (1/7), where Jis absolute temperature, for the cis-trans isomerism of the aldehyde group in fiirfiiral. Rates were obtained from tln-ee different experiments measurements (squares), bandshapes (triangles) and selective inversions (circles). The line is a linear regression to the data. The slope of the line is A H IR, and the intercept at 1/J = 0 is A S IR, where R is the gas constant. A and A are the enthalpy and entropy of activation, according to equation (B2.4.1)...

A few studies have found potential surfaces with a stable minimum at the transition point, with two very small barriers then going toward the reactants and products. This phenomenon is referred to as Lake Eyring Henry Eyring, one of the inventors of transition state theory, suggested that such a situation, analogous to a lake in a mountain cleft, could occur. In a study by Schlegel and coworkers, it was determined that this energy minimum can occur as an artifact of the MP2 wave function. This was found to be a mathematical quirk of the MP2 wave function, and to a lesser extent MP3, that does not correspond to reality. The same effect was not observed for MP4 or any other levels of theory. 

The model adopted by Ri and Eyring is not now acceptable, but some of the more recent treatments of electrostatic effects are quite close to their method in principle. In dealing with polar substituents some authors have concentrated on the interaction of the substituent with the electrophile whilst others have considered the interaction of the substituent with the charge on the ring in the transition state. An example of the latter method was mentioned above ( 7.2.1), and both will be encountered later ( 9.1.2). They are really attempts to explain the nature of the inductive effect, and an important question which they raise is that of the relative importance of localisation and electrostatic phenomena in determining orientation and state of activation in electrophilic substitutions. 

Our approach in this chapter is to alternate between experimental results and theoretical models to acquire familiarity with both the phenomena and the theories proposed to explain them. We shall consider a model for viscous flow due to Eyring which is based on the migration of vacancies or holes in the liquid. A theory developed by Debye will give a first view of the molecular weight dependence of viscosity an equation derived by Bueche will extend that view. Finally, a model for the snakelike wiggling of a polymer chain through an array of other molecules, due to deGennes, Doi, and Edwards, will be taken up. 

In this section we shall examine the analogy between the flow of a liquid and the rate of a chemical reaction. This approach has been developed extensively by Eyring and co-workers and has been applied to a wide variety of deformation processes and systems.
