Abstract
The reactivity index is the conventional theoretical quantity which is used as a measure of the relative rate of reactions of similar sort occurring in different positions in a molecule or in different molecules. As has already been mentioned in Chap. 2, most reactivity indices have been derived from LCAO MO calculations for unicentric reactions of planar π electron systems73). The theoretical indices for saturated molecules have also been put to use58). In the present section the discussion is limited to the indices derived from the theory developed in the preceding sections, since the other reactivity indices are presented in more detail than the frontier-electron theory in the usual textbooks 73,74) in this field.
