Abstract
It is pointed out that translational and (overall) rotational motions provide the important entropic driving force for enzymic and intramolecular rate accelerations and the chelate effect; internal rotations and unusually severe orientational requirements are generally of secondary importance. The loss of translational and (overall) rotational entropy for 2 → 1 reactions in solution is ordinarily on the order of 45 entropy units (e.u.) (standard state 1 M, 25°C); the translational entropy is much larger than 8 e.u. (corresponding to 55 M). Low-frequency motions in products and transition states, about 17 e.u. for cyclopentadiene dimerization, partially compensate for this loss, but “effective concentrations” on the order of 108 M may be accounted for without the introduction of new chemical concepts or terms.
