I think it difficult to attain such an energy which makes the transition state product more stable than the reactants. If you have the access you can read the text book written by Eyring himself ( Chemical Kinetics)

Thanks

Dear all,

Is it possible to make use of Eyring equation to determine the rate constant for the reaction, whcih the transition state (TS) is more stable than the reactants (R), i.e. the energy of TS is lower than the R? This reaction coordinate is:
R
--
\ TS
\ /--\
\__/ \
I \__
P
Are there any textbooks and articles for reference?

Regards,

Patrick
