Displacement reactions of each of a variety of anionic nucleophiles reacting with each of a variety of neutrals have been studied by pulsed ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) spectroscopy. Rate constants for these reactions are interpreted in terms of a three‐step reaction sequence. RRKM calculations are used to obtain information about the energy of transition states. The origin of the barrier to reaction in solution is discussed.
