The curvature of the Brönsted plot obtained for the pyridinolysis of methyl chloroformate is examined in the light of two equations which attribute the effect either solely to a change in rate-determining step or solely to variable transition-state geometry in a one-step reaction; the former is found to be more acceptable.
