Rate data for 18 sets of bimolecular nucleophilic substitution involving compounds of the type XCHjY, where X= H or alkyl, and Y is a leaving group, were correlated with the equation, log kx=\+ 0ctrx++ h, and log kx=+ h. The results of the correlations show that the effect of the X group is predominantly if not entirely steric. As the u con-stants were defined from the esterification of carboxylic acids and represent a steric effect on the formationof an approximately sp3 hybridized transition state, they probably do not provide the best representation of the steric effect in bimolecular nucleophilic substitution where the X group exerts a steric effect upon an approximately sp2 hybridized transition state. New steric effect substituent constants, u', were therefore defined from the rate constants for the reaction of XCHjBr with Br~ in MeAc at 25. Values of u'for eight alkyl groups are given. The magnitudeof the steric effect in bimolecular nucleophilic substitution is greater than the magnitude of the steric effect in esterification and acid hydrolysis of esters, or in basic hydrol-ysis of esters. Values of i/are smaller than values of u for most groups, however.Consider the set of compounds XCHjY in which X is an alkyl group or hydrogen atom, and Y is a leaving group. It has been stated that the effect of the X group on the rate of bimolecular nucleophilic substitution includes both steric and polar increments. 1 Okamoto, Nitta, Imoto, and Shin-
