Bell–Evans–Polanyi principle

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.B00628
The linear relation between energy of activation \((E_{\rm{a}})\) and enthalpy of reaction \((\Delta H_{\rm{r}})\) sometimes observed within a series of closely related reactions. \[E_{\rm{a}} = A + B\ \unicode[Times]{x394}H_{\rm{r}}\]
