38. As corollary, a reactant stabilizing factor mat is lost ahead of bond changes increases the intrinsic barrier, whereas a reactant stabilizing factor that it lost late reduces the intrinsic barrier. For product and reactant destabilizing factors, the opposite relationships hold.

The unusually short transition-state C-H bond length may be related to the C-H-C angle of less than 180° discussed earlier; the alternative transition state with a 180° angle mentioned above has a C-H bond length of 1.395 Å.

66. The percentages for a given system are not identical because each index measures a different property and thus cannot be expected to respond to aromaticity or antiaromaticity in exactly the same manner. What is important is that for eqs 7a and 8a the percentages are >50 while for eq 9a they are <50%.

Y is the difference between the charge on the molecular skeleton excluding the reaction center of the transition state (-0.413) and the charge on the skeleton of the reactant proton donor (0.001); χ is the difference between the charge on the molecular skeleton excluding the reaction center of the product (-0.800) and the charge on the same skeleton of the reactant (0.001).
