Utilizing the σ-complex stability for quantifying reactivity in nucleophilic substitution of aromatic fluorides

A computational approach using density functional theory to compute the energies of the possible σ-complex reaction intermediates, the “σ-complex approach”, has been shown to be very useful in predicting regioselectivity, in electrophilic as well as nucleophilic aromatic substitution. In this articl...
