Preferred Label : More O'Ferrall–Jencks diagram;
IUPAC definition : Visualization of the potential energy surfaces for a reacting system, as a function
of two chosen coordinates. It is particularly useful to discuss structural effects
on the transition state geometry for processes occurring either by stepwise or concerted
routes. The use of such diagrams, first suggested for elimination reactions, was later
extended to acid–base catalysis and to certain other reactions.;
