RE:SUMMARY OF RATE/ACTIVATION ENERGY
A very recent paper which is related to this question:
B.K. Carpenter, "Dynamic Behavior of Organic Reactive Intermediates",
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1998, 38, No. 24, 3340-3350.
(Full text available as PDF file at
http://www.Wiley-VCH.de/contents/jc_2002/199824.html; some
nice animations
from Carpenters group can be seen at
http://www.chem.cornell.edu/~bkl1/dynamics.html)
It discusses problems and limitations of the commonly used statistical
approaches.
