Abstract:

This review shows that, taking the Brönsted equation as a starting point, the equations describing the kinetic effects of added salts, micelles, solvent, catalysts (homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis), change in the electrode potential, and substituents can be established through thermodynamic considerations of these effects. In this sense, the Brönsted equation can be considered as the universal equation describing chemical reactivity.

More about this publication?

Progress in Reaction Kinetics & Mechanism is an international journal for the quarterly publication of both in-depth reviews and research articles.
In-depth reviews are comprehensive accounts bringing together work from many sources with the aim of providing an article of lasting value that will become established as the reference source in the particular subject. Research articles, on the other hand, normally focus on a relatively new or recently developed field or technique giving a state-of-the-art account of the subject and may well refer to a narrower range of existing work. It covers the fields of kinetics and mechanisms of chemical processes in the gas phase and solution of both simple and complex systems.
