The activation strain model of chemical reactivity
Abstract
Herein, we provide an account of the activation strain model of chemical reactivity and its recent applications. In this model, the potential energy surface DeltaE(zeta) along the reaction coordinate zeta is decomposed into the strain DeltaE(strain)(zeta) of the increasingly deformed reactants plus the interaction DeltaE(int)(zeta) between these deformed reactants, i.e., DeltaE(zeta) = DeltaE(strain)(zeta) + DeltaE(int)(zeta). The purpose of this fragment-based approach is to arrive at a qualitative understanding, based on accurate calculations, of the trends in activation barriers and transition-state geometries (e.g., early or late along the reaction coordinate) in terms of the reactants' properties. The usage of the activation strain model is illustrated by a number of concrete applications, by us and others, in the fields of catalysis and organic chemistry.

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.
