  6. Theoretical evidence for linearity of H atom transfer transition states, Ref. 2), Chap. 10. The evidence for linearity of proton transfer transition states is based upon analogy to the inverting SN2 reactions on carbon, the linearity of HF −2 etc., as well as electrostatic and orbital considerations
