Linear Free Energy Relationships as Tools for Investigating Chemical Similarity—Theory and Practice

  • Chapter
Correlation Analysis in Chemistry

Abstract

Organic chemistry has always depended much more on empirical rules than on models deduced from theoretical postulates. This is because the complexity of organic reactions in solution makes the relationship between experiment and pure “microscopic” theory based on atomic and molecular concepts extremely difficult to discover. Thus, it is at present impossible to reach a thorough understanding of most phenomena in organic chemistry on the basis of microscopic theory.1
