Abstract: | The interaction energy between an incoming group X– and the substrate CRH2Y at the geometry of the transition state (TS) for bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions (with X, Y, and R equal to H and F) has been subjected to decomposition according to the Morokuma scheme. The influence of the basis set and of the geometry chosen for the TS is examined. The results bring out regular trends in the different terms of the decomposition along the whole set of reactions, but they are not sufficient to give a rationale of the energetic factors involved in these reactions. |
