Barrera Y, Anderson JSM. Does the radical GPRI strongly depend on the population scheme? A comparative study to predict radical attack on unsaturated molecules with the radical general-purpose reactivity indicator. J Comput Chem 2024; 45:1152-1159. [PMID: 38299704 DOI: 10.1002/jcc.27314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
The reactivity of 22 unsaturated molecules undergoing attack by a methyl radical (⋅CH3) have been elucidated using the condensed radical general-purpose reactivity indicator (condensed radical GPRI) appropriate for relatively nucleophilic or electrophilic molecules. Using the appropriate radical GPRI equation for electrophilic attack or nucleophilic radical attack, seven different population schemes were used to assign the most reactive atoms in each of the 22 molecules. The results show that the condensed radical GPRI is sensitive to the population scheme chosen, but less sensitive than the radical Fukui function. Therefore, the reliability of these methods depends on the population scheme. Our investigation indicates that the condensed radical GPRI is most accurate in predicting the dominant products of the methyl radical addition reactions on a variety of unsaturated molecules when the Hirshfeld, Merz-Singh-Kollman, or Voronoi deformation density population schemes are used. Furthermore, for all populations schemes in the majority of instances where the radical Fukui function failed the radical GPRI was able to identify the most reactive atom under certain reactivity conditions.

Abstract
An overview of mathematical properties of the non-local second order derivatives of the canonical, grand canonical, isomorphic, and grand isomorphic ensembles is given. The significance of their positive or negative semidefiniteness and the implications of these properties for atoms and molecules are discussed. Based on this property, many other interesting properties can be derived, such as the expansion in eigenfunctions, bounds on the diagonal and off-diagonal elements, and the eigenvalues of these kernels. We also prove Kato's theorem for the softness kernel and linear response and the dissociation limit of the linear responses as the sum of the linear responses of the individual fragments when dissociating a system into two non-interacting molecular fragments. Finally, strategies for the practical calculation of these kernels, their eigenfunctions, and their eigenvalues are discussed.

Abstract
In this review article, we intend to highlight the basic electronic structure principles and various reactivity descriptors as defined within the premise of conceptual density functional theory (CDFT). Over the past several decades, CDFT has proven its worth in providing valuable insights into various static as well as time-dependent physicochemical problems. Herein, having briefly outlined the basics of CDFT, we describe various situations where CDFT based reactivity theory could be employed in order to gain insights into the underlying mechanism of several chemical processes.
