In this Tutorial Review, we make the point that a true understanding of trends in reactivity (as
opposed to measuring or simply computing them) requires a causal reactivity model. To this …

Few concepts are as frequently used as aromaticity in the current chemical literature. 1 This
may be quantified by ca. 300 000 papers dealing with the aromatic properties of chemical …

Winner of the PROSE Award for Chemistry & Physics 2010 Acknowledging the very best in
professional and scholarly publishing, the annual PROSE Awards recognise publishers' and …

Five increasingly sophisticated aromaticity indexes, based on nucleus-independent
chemical shifts (NICS), were evaluated against a uniform set of aromatic stabilization …

This chapter outlines the progress in nitrile oxide cycloadditions and synthetic uses of the
cycloadducts over the past 20 years. A liberal choice of examples involving important new …

Aromaticity is a key concept in physical organic chemistry. 1-4 It has been shown to be a
useful quantity in the rationalization of structure, stability, and reactivity of many molecules …

Accepting a commission to review progress in the subject embodied in our title is, perhaps,
to take up something of a 'poisoned chalice'. One of us, contributing on this same topic more …

In quantum mechanics the state of an electron is defined within the frame of probabilistic
theory. 1 The electrons of an isolated atom are confined to the space of this atom, which in …

In the 1970s, Density Functional Theory (DFT) was borrowed from physics and adapted to
chemistry by a handful of visionaries. Now chemical DFT is a diverse and rapidly growing …
