Abstract
The direct observation of the "transition state" for chemical reaction clearly merits a place in this series devoted to the "Holy Grails" of chemistry. The transition state is neither one thing, namely, chemical reagents, nor the other, reaction products. Instead it illustrates the mystical event of trans-substantiation.
