Theoretical electrophilicity and nucleophilicity scales, defined in terms of electronic reactivity indices, were tested for the reaction of a series of carbonates with neutral and charged reagents of varying nucleophilicity. ...

The empirical concepts of basicity and nucleophilicity are related but not strictly proportional. Hence, the aim of this study is to help in elucidating the range where both concepts are directly proportional. To do this, ...

An empirical nucleophilicity index based on the gas-phase ionization potentials has been recently shown to be useful categorizing and settling the nucleophilicity power of a series of captodative ethylenes reacting in ...
