Rate constants for intermolecular bond breaking (k1) and bond re‐formation (k2) were calculated from contraction measurements. Variation of ΔH‡ and ΔS‡ for k1 with phenol substituents and concentration suggests the existence of hydrophobic bonding between the solution and the polymer activated complex. This behavior has been substantiated by correlating ΔH‡ and ΔS‡ for k1 with a parameter related to hydrophobicity.
