Unifying path-dependent and thermodynamic descriptors of asynchronicity in double proton transfer reactions
Abstract
, which provides a quantitative bridge between thermodynamic bias and kinetic decoupling and enables the identification of outliers in which kinetic asynchronicity arises despite minimal thermodynamic imbalance (PNPS). Taken together, this approach reconciles thermodynamic and path-dependent perspectives on asynchronicity and offers a general strategy for rationalizing deviations from BEP behavior in concerted transformations.
