Plateau Reactions: Double Proton-Transfer Processes with Structureless Transition States
Abstract
The double proton-transfer reactions of the model base pair systems pyrazole−pyrazole and pyrazole−guanidine have been studied by computational methods up to the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level. In contrast to the synchronous proton transfer of the pyrazole dimer, the reaction profile of the second system shows a plateaulike transition region instead of a well-defined transition state characterized by one structure on the energy hypersurface. According to the computational results of this study, such plateau reactions with structureless transition regions behave differently in comparison to standard systems with gauss-shaped barriers. Energy partitioning schemes were used to analyze the unusual reaction profile, and one-dimensional tunneling effects were accounted for by a numerical approach. An empirical scheme has been derived to predict plateau reactions for double proton transfer systems.

Depending on the reaction pathway, if the two protons transfer simultaneously or not, the reduced mass of the system can tend to one or two proton masses.

Studies on other proton transfer reactions suggest that the reduced mass at the transition state is dependent on the proton transfer process and can fluctuate to a much heavier mass far from the transition state.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
