This is the step for which the transition state has the highest energy.
The reaction proceeds through the 6-membered transition state shown below.
The most stable transition state will lead to the major product.
This star is in a transition state at the moment.
It is very difficult to study a transition state.
Studying transition states is very important to understand reaction mechanisms.
The highest energy image gives a good estimate of the transition state.
In the transition state, called that of the empty Will, there is no definite end.
The above description of the transition state is not quite correct.
One transition state with a high diradicaloid character was found.
May we not say of him, that he is in an intermediate state?
Some had no briefing about the intermediate state in the former life.
And what would you say of the intermediate state?
The name means literally "liberation through hearing in the intermediate state".
However, it is important not to confuse an intermediate with a transition state.
The size of the intermediate state and the block size is often the same!
This is based on what a person experiences in this intermediate state.
We see that, at second order, we have to sum on all the intermediate states.
As a result there is no formal intermediate, but rather a chair-like transition state.
In practice, a tunable laser can be used to access an excited intermediate state.
