A new treatment of the solvent effect on the solvolysis of tert-butyl chloride is proposed. This treatment is based on activation free energy measurements and on transfer free energy measurements of the reactant (R) on the one hand and of a model (M) of the activated complex (AC) on the other hand. Solute–solvent interaction free energies for the reactant, the activated complex and the model compound are estimated. This estimation involves the calculation of the free energy of cavity formation of these various solutes (R, AC, and M) in all the solvents. These cavity terms, which are a function of the cohesive properties of the solvent and of the surface of the cavity do not reflect the electronic structure of the solute whereas the interaction free energy term does. The method we propose can be described as a new 'experimental' approach for the study of the charge separation in an activated complex.

Seven systems of one-step synthesis of aniline were designed, and it was determined which one could occur spontaneously through the calculation of Gibbs free energy of it. Among the seven systems, the Gibbs free energy of the one with ammonia as the aminating agent and hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant was the lowest, thus its process driving force was the largest, that is, .For this system just mentioned above, the standard Gibbs free energies, the equilibrium constant and the equilibrium conversions of benzene under different conditions were discussed ,which was expected to provide a theoretical basis for further development and application of the system.

Rate constants for hydration of carbon dioxide and ketene can be calculated by applying No Barrier Theory, which needs only equilibrium constants and distortion energies, the latter calculated using molecular orbital theory. The calculated free energies of activation are in satisfactory agreement with experiment: the rms error in free energy of activation is 2.38 kcal/mol. These compounds can also be described using Marcus Theory or Multidimensional Marcus Theory using the transferable intrinsic barrier appropriate to simple carbonyl compounds; in this case the rms error in free energy of activation is 2.19 kcal/mol. The two methods agree on preferred mechanistic path except for uncatalyzed hydration of ketene where Multidimensional Marcus Theory leads to a lower activation free energy for addition to the C=O, while No Barrier Theory leads to a lower free energy of activation for addition to the C=CH2. A rate constant for hydroxide ion catalyzed hydration of ketene can be calculated and is in accord with preliminary experimental results.Key words: ketene, carbon dioxide, hydration, Marcus Theory, No Barrier Theory.
