In physical chemistry, the Evans–Polanyi principle (also referred to as the Bell–Evans–Polanyi principle, Brønsted–Evans–Polanyi principle, or Evans–Polanyi-Semenov principle) observes that the difference in activation energy between two reactions of the same family is proportional to the difference of their enthalpy of reaction. This relationship can be expressed as: : where: * ''E''0 is the activation energy of a reference reaction of the same class * Δ''H'' is the enthalpy of reaction * α characterizes the position of the transition state along the reaction coordinate (such that ) The Evans-Polanyi model is a linear energy relationship that serves as an efficient way to calculate activation energy of many reactions within a distinct family. The activation energy may be used to characterize the kinetic rate parameter of a given reaction through application of the Arrhenius equation. The Evans-Polanyi model assumes the pre-exponential factor of the Arrhenius equation and the position of the transition state along the reaction coordinate are the same for all reactions belonging to a particular reaction family. ==Derivation== The Bell–Evans–Polanyi model was developed independently by Ronald Percy Bell〔Bell, R. P., Proc. R. Soc. London, Ser. A, 1936, 154, 414〕 and by Meredith Gwynne Evans and Michael Polanyi〔Evans, M. G.; Polanyi, M., J. Chem. Soc., Faraday Trans., 1936, 32, 1340〕 to explain the apparent linear relationship between activation energy and free energy in acid disassociation, as described in the Brønsted catalysis equation which was the original linear free energy relationship published in 1924.〔Brønsted, J. N.; Pedersen, K. J. Zeitschrift für Phys. Chemie, Stöchiometrie und Verwandtschaftslehre 1924, 108, 185–235〕 Considering the reaction: : The system is assumed to have two degrees of freedom: rAB, the distance between atoms A and B, and rBC, the distance between atoms B and C. The distance between A and C is assumed to be fixed such that :r = rAB = ''constant'' - rBC As the A—B bond stretches, the energy of the system increases up to the activation energy associated with the transition state, whereupon the bond breaks. The energy then decreases as the B—C bond is formed. Evans and Polanyi approximated the two energy functions between reactants, the transition state, and the products by two straight lines (with slopes m1 and m2, respectively) that intersect at the transition state. For the AB molecule, the energy is given as a function of bond distance, r: At the transition state, r = r‡ and E = Ea. Therefore we can write that Which rearranges to give For the BC molecule, a similar expression of energy as a function of r is given by The overall enthalpy change of the system, ΔH, can thus be expressed as Plugging equation into equation and rearranging gives the following: The constants in equation can be condensed into the common form of the Evans-Polanyi equation given above. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bell–Evans–Polanyi principle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
