Molecular dynamics computer simulation is used to relate the thermodynamic properties along the reaction coordinate to microscopic solvation for the Sn2 reaction of the chloride ion with methyl chloride as a function of temperature and density. Extreme conditions (eg reduced densities of 0.05 and 0.3 for reduced temperatures of 1.0 and 1.3, respectively) are found to be necessary to remove half of the water moleculesin the first solvation shell aboutthe chloride ion. As the temperature is increased and density decreased, the number of Cl--water hydrogen bonds decays faster than the coordination number. By analogy to adsorption phenomena, augmentation in the local solvent density relative to the bulk (clustering) is interpretedin three regions corresponding to gas, near-critical, and liquid-like densities.· The lifetime of a water molecule in the first coordination sphere is found to be about 4 times shorter than under ambient conditions; the lifetime of a hydrogen bond between Cl-and water decreases by a comparable factor of about 6. The values of, AE, and—TAS associated with conversion from the reactantstate to the transition state are explained in terms of the variationsin the average coordination numbers and hydrogen bonding. The combined effects of changes in temperature and solvation leadto an increase in the rate constant by 9-12 orders of magnitude under supercritical conditions compared to ambient conditions.
