Transition State Theory. I.
Transition State Theory = Activated Complex Theory = Absolute Rate Theory

! " H2 + F " [H2F] !k! HF + H
Assume equilibrium between reactants H2 + F and the transition state.

[ H 2 F ] [ H 2 ][ F ] Treat the transition state as a molecule with structure that decays unimolecularly with rate constant k. d[ HF ] = k [ H 2 F ] = kK [ H 2 ] [ F ] dt K =
k has units of sec1 (unimolecular decay). The motion along the reaction coordinate looks like an antisymmetric vibration of H2F, one-half cycle of this vibration. Therefore k can be approximated by the frequency of the antisymmetric vibration [sec1] k frequency of antisymmetric vibration (bond formation and cleavage looks like antisymmetric vibration)

Reaction coordinate is antisymmetric vibrational mode of H2F. This vibration is fully excited (high T limit) because it leads to the cleavage of the HH bond and the formation of the HF bond. For a fully excited vibration h kT The vibrational partition function for the antisymmetric mode is

Since a molecule cannot have a vibrational energy lower than its zero point energy, the effective barrier along the reaction coordinate is E = V0 + (ZPE)TS (ZPE)R V0 is the potential energy difference between the bare barrier (saddle point) and the reactant bare minimum. For linear H2F, n = 3, so 3n51 = 3 regular vibrational modes, thus

acceptable agreement

Experimental value is smaller because is probably not 1. Sometimes kTST will be smaller than kEXP because of tunneling. This model for kTST does not take the quantum mechanical phenomenon of tunneling into account. Tunneling can make the reaction rate become faster than the kTST prediction. If k
