An. Pankratov, Nucleophilic aromatic substitution for benzene derivatives: substituent rate factors from quantum chemical computations, AFINIDAD, 58(492), 2001, pp. 137-140
The anionic localization energies (Lambda (-)) for the reaction of 1-chloro
-2-nitro-4-substituted benzenes interaction with methoxide anion have been
computed by the PM3 method. Substituent rate factors correlate linearly wit
h the Lambda (-) values.
