References.  aThis well-illustrated book develops, using only the ideas of basic quantum chemistry (e.g. perturbation and symmetry theory), a fundamental conceptual and theoretical framework for chemical reactivity. By feeding the role of symmetry and chemical group topology directly into the development, the analysis generates and explains the successful features of simpler reactivity theories (e.g. frontier orbital theory, the isolobal concept, PMO theory, the Woodward-Hoffmann rules), as well as defines their limitations. The unifying construct is that of a group-resolved correlation diagram, which is shown to represent the formal quantization of the electron arrow, replacing the concept of classical point electrons moving between groups with the concept of quantum electron matter waves which evolve with the evolving nuclear and chemical group structure. The use of the concept of chemical groups (functional group system, substituents, solvents) is central to the development, localising the evolutionary electrons within the functional groups and leading to an isolation and analytic definition of substituent and solvent (catalytic) effects as explicit functions of the reaction coordinate. Each archetypical reaction family is represented by fully-worked examples: viz. aliphatic nucleophilic substitution, aromatic electrophilic substitution, inorganic rearrangements, electrocyclic additions, Diels-Alder additions and addition stages in chiral reactions.  aElectronic reproduction.bSingapore :cWorld Scientific Publishing Co.,d1994.nSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader.nMode of access: World Wide Web. 0aReactivity (Chemistry) 0aSymmetry (Physics) 0aElectronic books.2 aWorld Scientific (Firm)40uhttps://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/2155#t=toc  cE-BOOK  c49792d49792  00102ddc4070aCUTNbCUTNd2026-04-16l0o541.394pEB04998r2026-04-16 15:52:00uhttps://doi.org/10.1142/2155w2026-04-16yE-BOOK
