Abstract

The valence-bond (VB) state correlation diagram model¹ is utilized to derive reactivity factors for S_N2 nucleophiles (N^-) and substrates (RX) in various solvents. These reactivity factors are applied to analyze reactivity patterns in the ensemble of the identity reactions (X^- + CH₃X ➛➛ XCH₃ + X^-) and to bridge between gas-phase reactivity and reactivity in solutions. The trends in the reaction barriers are shown to arise from the interplay of intrinsic reactant properties and solvent properties in a manner which reflects the nature of S_N2 as a transformation involving a single electron shift attended by bond interchange.
