Two-dimensional potential energy and free energy surfaces are obtained using quantum mechanical and molecular dynamics calculations for four hydrogen transfer reactions in n-hexane solvent: the methyl–methane, n-propyl–n-propane, n-pentyl–n-pentane, and t-butyl–isobutane systems. The resultant surfaces have similar landscapes despite the fact the equilibrated solvent cavities for these systems are notably different in size and shape. The kinetic implications of these landscapes are discussed. The Arrhenius and tunneling kinetics of hydrogen transfer in nonpolar hydrocarbon solute–solvent systems are not expected to show any significant viscosity dependence.
