Discerning the thermal cyclotrimerizations of fluoro- and chloroacetylenes through ELF, NBO descriptors and QTAIM analysis: pseudodiradical character

In this study the thermal cyclotrimerization reactions of fluoro- and chloroacetylenes involving regioselectively stepwise {2 + 2} and stepwise {4 + 2} cycloadditions were studied using the topological analysis of the electron localization function (ELF), the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QT...
