Free energies and entropies of transfer from methanol to aqueous methanol of the reactants and the transition state in the bimolecular substitution of tetraethyltin by mercuric chloride
Abstract
Variations in the free energy and entropy of tetraethyltin and mercuric chloride with solvent composition, in methanol–water mixutres, are of comparable magnitude to corresponding variations in the free energy and entropy of the tetraethyltin–mercuric chloride transition state.
