hammond postulate: it is reasonable to suggest that 2 points on an energy diagram (and so 2 species of similar energy) should be similar in structure)
gives us information about the structure of the transition states. in turn if there is a stransistion state that is more similar energy to the SM than the products, we can assume that its structure is also more similar to the SM than the products.
for exergonic reactions (-ve), the transition state is early and will be similar structure to the SM
for endogenic reactions (+ve), the transition state is late and has a similar structure to the products.
