Bonding reactivity descriptor from conceptual density functional theory and its applications to elucidate bonding formation
Abstract
Condensed-to-atom Fukui functions which reflect the atomic reactivity like the tendency susceptible to either nucleophilic or electrophilic attack demonstrate the bonding trend of an atom in a molecule. Accordingly, Fukui functions based concepts, that is, bonding reactivity descriptors which reveal the bonding properties of molecules in the reaction were put forward and then applied to pericyclic and cluster reactions to confirm their …
