8 Chemical Kinetics as a Mechanistic Tool ANDREJA BAKAC ### 8.1 Introduction Chemical kinetics is a powerful tool that provides unique mechanistic information and deep insight into the activation process that is at the heart of every chemical transformation. This chapter is structured around some of the most important types of information obtained from kinetic studies. The rate law provides the composition of the transition state (TS), kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) can establish whether a specific bond is involved in the activation process, and activation parameters provide information about the energy and entropy requirements. Independent generation, characterization, and reactivity studies of potential intermediates allow one to search for and identify such intermediates in multistep reactions by spectroscopic means or by use of chemical traps. The purpose of this chapter is not to present again the material that is already available in a number of kinetics books and monographs. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Instead, only a brief summary of the fundamentals will be given, followed by examples from the literature to demonstrate the scope, usefulness,
