Tunnel effect in chemistry

An approximate formula for the temperature dependence of the reaction rate coefficient K is given by the Arrhenius equation

Quantum-mechanical tunnelling has been recognized as a possible contributor to the rate of a chemical reaction for many years. For instance, the theory of tunnelling for proton transfer reactions was developed by Bell (1959) in his famous book The Proton in Chemistry. Later, Bell (1980a) published a more thorough treatment of tunnelling in his book The Tunnel Effect in Chemistry.

DR. EYRING Well, I think we are all conscious of the fact that Bell writes extensively on the subject of tunneling in connection with proton transfer. In fact, there is a recent book that was published within the last year that is on that particular topic [Bell, R. P. "The Tunnel Effect in Chemistry" Chapman and Hall London, 1980].
