Database of Reactivity Parameters E and N/s
(last update: 16.02.2009)

    Equation (1) derives the rate constants for the combinations of electrophiles with nucleophiles:
    log k20°C = s (N + E)     (1)

E = electrophilicity parameter
N = nucleophilicity parameter
s = nucleophile-specific slope parameter

The database contains a compilation of the published reactivity parameters E, N and s.

Please note: In the database the electrophiles and nucleophiles are classified by stars.
      • 5 stars: reference electrophile/nucleophile
      • 4 stars: quasi-reference electrophile/nucleophile
      • 3 stars: at least 2 reference electrophiles/nucleophiles have been used for the determination of the reactivity parameter(s)
      • 1 star: only 1 reference electrophile/nucleophile has been used for the determination of the reactivity parameter E or N (s was estimated)
