From data for 25 different hydride reactions in the vapour phase a new general expression relating the bond distensions in the transition state with the energy of reaction is proposed; the relationship is devised using the bond energy–bond order method, based on a modified Pauling relationship and using the assumption that the bond order may vary along the reaction co-ordinate.
