Origin of Free Energy Relationships

Over the small range of Afi p the entropic component of the free energy can be assumed not to change so that 3AG and are proportional to 3A and 3A respectively and Equation (8) follows. [Pg.8]

Integration and rearrangement of this equation gives rise to the Class I free energy relationship (Equation 9).  [Pg.8]

This equation fails if the slopes w, and m2 change owing to large changes in ACq. The Class I relationship can alternatively be derived from the Marcus-type function (Chapter 6). [Pg.8]

In the meantime it is necessary to define what is meant by the term reaction coordinate. The reaction coordinate for a dissociation process of a diatomic species is simply the distance between the atoms as the reaction proceeds. The majority of reactions are not of diatomic molecules and there is usually more than one bond undergoing a major bonding change, so that the reaction coordinate can no longer be regarded as a simple distance between atoms in a two-dimensional [Pg.8]

An assumption, the postulate of separability, is necessary so that the interaction terms (/x,r) niay be factored  [Pg.9]
