Abstract
A new reactivity index has been defined; this parameter is focused on a molecule's natural bond orbitals (NBOs) and derives in a natural way from Fukui functions. NBOs have the advantage of being very localized, allowing the reaction site of an electrophile or nucleophile to be determined within a very precise molecular region. Finally, the indices for a representative set of organic molecules were calculated and their usefulness tested on some protonation reactions.Year: 2015 PMID: 25761421 DOI: 10.1007/s00894-015-2610-8
