Abstract
The recently proposed similarity index was applied to the quantitative justification of the empirical Hammond postulate for a series of selected pericyclic reactions. In keeping with the expectations of the postulate the transition states were shown to be reactant-like for exothermic and product-like for endothermic reactions.
