Preferred Label : isodesmic reaction;
IUPAC definition : A reaction (actual or hypothetical) in which the types of bonds that are made in forming
the products are the same as those which are broken in the reactants, e.g. Such
processes have advantages for theoretical treatment. The Hammett equation as applied
to equilibria [cf. (a)] essentially deals with isodesmic processes.;
