Illustration of a Hammond effect and its relationship to the intrinsic barrier. (A) For steep, narrow wells, the intrinsic barrier is high, and a perturbation does not have a large effect on the position of the transition state (narrow lines). (B) For broad, shallow wells, the intrinsic barrier is low, and the magnitude of the Hammond effect is large.
