The rate constants for the solvolysis reactions of p-methoxybenzylchloride in ethanol-water mixtures were determined at 2$^{\circ}$ and 10$^{\circ}C$ up to 1600bar. Rates of reaction were increased with increasing temperature and pressure, and decreased with increasing solvent composition of ethanol mole fraction. From the rate constants, the values of the activation parameters (${{\Delta}V_o}^{\neq},\;{\Delta}{\beta}^{\neq},\;{\Delta}H^{\neq},\;and\;{\Delta}S^{\neq}$) were evaluated. The values of ${{\Delta}V_o}^{\neq}$ and ${\Delta}{\beta}^{\neq}$ exhibit the extremum behavior at about 0.30 mole fraction of ethanol. This behavior is discussed in terms of solvent structure variation. From these results, it could be postulated that the reaction proceeds through $S_N1$ mechanism.

Compressibility and expansibility of activation, ${\Delta}K^{\neq}\;and\;{\Delta}E^{\neq},$ are defined with the use of general principles that an activation parameter is the difference in partial molar quantities of the parameter for the transition and initial state. Two related parameters, (${\partial}{\Delta}H^{\neq}/{\partial}P)_{\gamma}\;and\;{\Delta}W^{\neq}(=P{\Delta}V^{\neq}),$ are also derived. Simpler interpretation of the existing kinetic data are possible with these activation parameters, while other derivations lead to complicated expressions of no practical significance.

Rate of hydrolysis ethylene phosphate, dimethylphosphate and hydroxyethylmethylphosphate in neutral water have been measured. Hydrolysis of ethylene phosphate proceeds with P-0 bond cleavage $(k_{obs}=3{\times}10^{-7}s^{-1}\;at\;100^{\circ}C,\;{\Delta}H{\neq}=24\;kcal,\;{\Delta}S{\neq}=25.5\;eu)$. In constrast, hydrolysis of dimethylphosphate proceeds with C-O bond cleavage $(k_{obs}=3{\times}10^{-7}s^{-1}\;at\;150^{\circ}C)$. The rate constant for P-O bond cleavage of dimethylphosphate is estimated at $1{\times}10^{-11}s^{-1}\;at\;150^{\circ}C,\;({\Delta}H{\neq}=36\;kcal,\;{\Delta}S{\neq}=25.5\;eu)$. A phosphodiesterase catalyzed hydrolysis of dimethylphosphate is $10^{17}$ times faster than the simple water rate. The observed rate of hydrolysis of hydroxyethylmethylphosphate is comparable to that of dimethylphosphate indicating C-O bond cleavage $(k_{obs}=6{\times}10^{-7}s^{-1}\;at\;150^{\circ}C)$.

Rate constants for the solvolysis of o-methylbenzyl chloride were determined at 30$^{\circ}$ and 40$^{\circ}$C in aqueous ethanol mixtures under various pressures up to 1600 bar. From the rate constants, the activation parameters ${\Delta}V^{\neq}$, ${\Delta}{\beta}^{\neq}$, ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$, ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ and${\Delta}G^{\neq}$ were evaluated. The values exhibit the extremum behavior at about 0.30 mole fraction of ethanol. This behavior is discussed in terms of electrostriction. To examine the reaction mechanism by Laidler and Eyring equation, we compared the rate constants with the dielectric constants of aqueous ethanol and the number of water molecule participated in the transition state. It was concluded that solvolytic reaction proceeds via $S_N$1 mechanism.

Kinetic studies of the reaction of benzyl benzenesulfonate with pyridine in acetone were carried out by the electric conductivity method under 1 to 2000 bars and at 20 to $40^{\circ}C$. The rate increases with increasing pressure and temperature. The activation enthalpy $({\Delta}H^{\neq}),\;entropy\;({\Delta}S^{\neq})$ and activation volume $({\Delta}V^{\neq})$ of the reaction are obtained by the above experiment. The isokinetic relationship between $({\Delta}H^{\neq})\;and\;({\Delta}S^{\neq})$ for pressure change in the reaction was shown, and its isokinetic temperature was $342^{\circ}K$. From all of the above results it was found that this reaction precedes on the $S_N2$ reaction mechanism in which the rate of the reaction was determined by $C{\cdots}N$ bond formation at transition state.

Ultraviolet spectrophotometric investigation has been carried out on the system of iododestannylation iodine and tetramethyltin in methanol. The transient CT absorption spectrum can be observed and the subsequent disappearance of CT absorption spectrum was accompained by the cleavage of tetramethyltin with iodine. From there, the rate constants for the iododestannylation were determined at 10, 25 and 35$^{\circ}C$ up to 1600 bar and the reaction rates were increased with increasing temperature and pressure. From these rate constants, the values of the activation parameters (${\Delta}V^\neq,\;{\Delta}{\beta}^{\neq},\;{\Delta}H^{\neq},\;{\Delta}S^{\neq}\;and\;{\Delta}G^{\neq}$) were obtained. The activation volumes and activation compressibility coefficients were both negativity. The activation enthalpies were positive and activation entropies had large negative values. From these values discussed in terms of solvent structure variation of transition state and mechanism. From these results, it was found that the reaction is followed with $S_E2$ mechaenism and weakened $S_E2$ mechanism nature by increasing pressure.

Kinetics for the solvolyses of acyl chlorides and alkyl chlorides in hydroxylic solvent mixtures have been measured by conductometric method at various temperatures and pressures. The activation parameters (${\Delta}V^{\neq},\; {\Delta}H^{\neq},\; {\Delta}S^{\neq}$) were estimated from the rate constants. The reactivities of these reactions were also estimated from the correlation of the activation volumes with the activation entropies.

Rate Constants for the solvolysis of p-methylbenzyl chloride in various ethanol-water mixtures were studied at 30 and $40^{\circ}C$ under various pressures up to 1600 bar. The rates of reaction were increased with increasing temperature and pressure, and decreased with increasing solvent composition of ethanol mole fraction. From the rate constants, the values of the activation parameters (${\Delta}V^{\neq},{\Delta}{\beta}^{\neq},{\Delta}H^{\neq}\;and\;{\Delta}S^{\neq}$) were evaluated. The values of ${\Delta}V^{\neq}\;and\;{\Delta}{\beta}^{\neq}$ exhibit the extremum behavior at about 0.30 mole fraction of ethanol. This behavior is discussed in terms of solvent structure variation (electrostriction). From the relation between the reaction rate and the dielectric constant of solvent or the number of water molecule participated in the transition state, it could be postulated that the reaction proceeds through $S_N1$ mechanism.

The rates of solvolylsis of methyl chloroformate, phenyl chloroformate and 1-adamantyl derivatives in binary solvent mixtures have been measured by conductometric method at various temperatures and pressures. The activation parameters were estimated from the rate constants. The activation volume (${\Delta}V_o^{\neq}$) and the activation entropy (${\Delta}S^{\neq}$) are both negative, but the activation enthalpy (${\Delta}H^{\neq}$) is positive. This behavior is discussed in terms of electrostriction of solvation. The reactivities of these reactions were also estimated from the correlation of the activation volumes with the activation entropies. From these results, it could be estimated that the solvolyses of 1-adamantyl fluoroformate (in aqueous TFE) and 1-adamantyl tosylate have pathway involving unimolecular reaction, while the reaction of methyl chloroformate, phenyl chloroformate and 1-adamantyl fluoroformate (in aqueous alcohol) proceed through a bimolecular reaction.

UV spectrophotometric investigation has been carried out on the system of charge-transfer (CT) complex with iodine and tetramethyltin in carbon tetrachloride solvent. The transient CT absorption spectrum can be observed in ${\lambda}_{max}=270nm$ and the subsequent disappearance of CT absorption spectrum was accompained by the cleavage of tetramethyltin with iodine (iododestannylation). From there, the rate constants for the iododestannylation were determined at 10, 20 and $35^{\circ}C$ up to 1200 bar and the reaction rates were increased with increasing temperature and pressure. From these rate constants, the values of the activation parameters (${\Delta}V^{\neq},\;{\Delta}{\beta}^{\neq},\;{\Delta}H^{\neq}\;and\;{\Delta}S^{\neq}$) were obtained and from these values discussed in terms of solvent structure variation of transition state and mechanism. From these results, it was found that the reaction is followed with $S_F2$ mechanism and weakened $S_F2$ mechanism nature by increasing pressure.
