Abstract
The hydrodynamic friction used in many comparisons of isomerization reactions with Kramers' theory is shown to be related to the translational friction. The fractional viscosity dependence of the translational friction of naphthalene is shown to account for the failure of hydrodynamic models for 1,1′-binaphthyl in alkanes. The success of the reorientational model of friction is also discussed. Finally, an idea developed by Zwanzig and Harrison is used in rationalizing the fractional dependences.
