 Dear CClers,
 Greetings
 I have used the conventional transition state theory to calculate the rate
 constant of a reaction with the Wigner tunneling coefficient ( ) in the gas
 phase using the equation below:
  k=(KbT/h)(QtsNa/Q1Q2)exp(-Ea/RT)
 1, 2 and TS have been fully optimised in the gas phase and Qs have been
 calculated from frequencies.
 I want to extend to solvent phase.
 Can the same procedure be used?
 Does the rate equation change?
 I will appreciate your response/hint.
 Kind regards
 Lydia Rhyman
