It can be represented by a dot on a More O'Ferrall-Jencks plot.
It can be represented by a dot on a More O'Ferrall-Jencks plot. The theory of this name can include a Wigner tunneling correction term, and is based on the quasi-equilibrium hypothesis. Its structure can be estimated using the Hammond postulate. The rate constant for its reaction is related to a vibrational mode according to Eyring, who developed the theory of this name with Polanyi. It is the highest point on a two-dimensional reaction coordinate diagram, and can only be attained by energy input greater than or equal to the activation energy. FTP, name this short-lived chemical "state" that a reaction may exist in before it continues through to the products of the reaction.
