Model of organic reactivity that generates a reaction profile from curves that describe
the energies of reactant, product, and intermediate electronic configurations (or,
alternatively, reactant, product and intermediate electronic states) as a function
of the
reaction coordinate. The crossing reflects the electronic reorganization that accompanies the
transformation of reactants and products.
