Kinetic and thermodynamic interpretation of the reversible reaction of 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene with 4-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]pyridine in acetonitrile

The energetic and activation parameters for the reversible reaction of 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene with 4-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]pyridine in acetonitrile were determined. The rate constants for the forward and reverse reactions were found to be equal at 300 K. L. M.
