The activation strain model and molecular orbital theory: understanding and designing chemical reactions

I Fernández, FM Bickelhaupt - Chemical Society Reviews, 2014 - pubs.rsc.org
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 …
