Competition Experiments as a Means of Evaluating Linear Free Energy Relationships
Mullins, Richard J.; Vedernikov, Andrei; Viswanathan, Rajesh
Journal of Chemical Education, v81 n9 p1357-1361 Sep 2004
The use of competition experiments as a means of evaluating linear free energy relationship in the undergraduate teaching laboratory is reported. The use of competition experiments proved to be a reliable method for the construction of Hammett plots with good correlation providing great flexibility with regard to the compounds and reactions that may be studied.
