Electrophilicity index within a conceptual DFT framework

Abstract

Conceptual density functional theory provides a method for analyzing the chemical reactivity in terms of different global reactivity descriptors including electrophilicity and their local counterparts like philicity. These concepts’ definitions and various applications that demonstrate their interpretive power are discussed. Global and local electrophilicities are able to account for a wide variety of chemical phenomena.
