Valence Bond Configuration Mixing Diagrams for Proton-Transfer Processes

1 Valence Bond Configuration Mixing Diagram for Proton-Transfer Processes 

FIGURE 6.13 The effect of the triple ionic structure, cl Is in proton-transfer processes between (a) very strong XT bases (e.g., X = CH3), and (b) FT anions the latter is computed by VB theory (Adapted with permission from Ref. 5.) Energies are in kcal/mol.
