58. Theoretical calculations by Saunders and co-workers (Table 2, ref 45) have shown that the contribution of heavy atom motion to the reaction coordinate motion is more pronounced in unsymmetric transition states. Heavy atom motion increases the effective mass of the transferring hydride ion and reduces the probability of tunnelling.
