A MP2/6-31G* direct dynamics simulation is used to study the dynamics of the central barrier [Cl-C2H5-Cl]– for the Cl– + C2H5 SN2 reaction. The majority of the trajectories move off the central barrier to form the Cl––C2H5Cl complex and appear to undergo efficient IVR as assumed by RRKM theory. However, some of the trajectories move directly to products without forming the complex, a non-RRKM result. A hydrogen atom link-atom QM/MM model is described for studying the dynamics of [X-CH2R-Y]– central barriers with the -R substituent. The model is used to calculate vibrational frequencies for the [Cl-C2H5-Cl]– central barrier.Key words: SN2 reaction dynamics, RRKM theory, QM/MM model, central barrier dynamics, direct dynamics classical trajectories.

The use of the topological similarity index as a simple means for classification and characterization of the structure of the transition states in concerted pericyclic reactions is discussed. The suggested formulation makes it possible to bring a quantitative aspects into the empirical Dewar's classification of transition states in terms of aromaticity and/or antiaromaticity.

The intramolecular London-van der Waals cohesions in the transition states Hal�-. . . CH3 . . . Hal�- in which both halogen atoms are identical should be greater than the following : Hal=F, 0.09 ; Hal=Cl, 0.64 ; Hal=Br, 0.94 ; Hal=I, 1.15 kcal/mole. It is concluded that these cohesions make a significant contribution to the observed increase in the velocity of the above displacement reaction as the polarizability of either entering or leaving halogen atom increases.
