Eyring s equation assumes that a thermodynamic equilibrium exists between the transition state and the state of the reactants and that the reaction rate is proportional to the concentration of particles at the high-energy transition state, k accounts for the fraction of molecules going into product state and AG represents the difference between Gibbs energy of transition state and reactants. If AG is expressed in terms of enthalpy (AH ) and entropy (AS ) of activation, fromEq. 3.114 ... 

Kinetic measurements of the Gibbs energies of reactions permit the study of transition states with very short lifetimes by the use of the Eyring equation... 

Because of the relationship between an equilibrium constant and the Gibbs energy, we can use K to define a AG value for the formation of the transition state, and rewrite the Eyring equation in terms of the Gibbs energy. We get... 

It is more useful, especially for biological reactions in aqueous environments, to express the Eyring equation in terms of thermodynamic parameters and to discuss reactions in terms of their empirical values. Thus, we saw in Section 4.3 that an equilibrium constant may be expressed in terms of the standard reaction Gibbs energy —RTlnK = We do the same here, and express K in terms of the... 

The rate-constant is a function of the thermodynamic activation parameters i.e. the Gibbs free energy of activation (AG ) and hence the activation enthalpy (AH ) and the activation entropy (AS ) via the Eyring and Arrhenius equations AG = AH - T AS = -RT(lnk) H- c. (T = temperature, R = gas constant, c = a constant). Two extreme scenarios can be distinguished when reactions take place inside a capsule (a practical situation might be a combination of the two) ... 

Using these rate constants k. it is also possible to use Eyring s equation (Eq. 4.24) to obtain an expression for the free enthalpy of activation, AG. In the case of the tetrasilylhydrazine, we can derive the Gibbs free energy of the activation complex, as 52 3kJmol...
