Abstract

Reactivity data related to processes in which molecular receptors promote the reaction of two simultaneously complexed reactants have been surveyed and analyzed in terms of effective molarity (EM). Methods and criteria for the calculation of reliable EM's have been highlighted. Extension of a previous extrathermodynamic treatment of intramolecular reactions of bifunctional chains to the intracomplex reactions of the ternary complexes involved in two-substrate catalyzed reactions has provided a sound framework for a comparative analysis of reactivity and catalytic efficiency in structurally diverse and apparently unrelated systems.
