Abstract: Several kinetic techniques are employed to analyze the different thermodynamic trends that are observed during the carbon-hydrogen bond activation in different nitriles and chloroalkanes. The M-C bonds are shown to be highly strengthened by the presence of different CN and CL substitutents.
