Comprehensive Overview of the Polarity of Free Radical Types

Continuing from the previous article, this section will further introduce the types of free radicals.The Ohio State UniversityNagibresearch team summarized the polarities ofnitrogen-substituted carbon-centered free radicals, aryl free radicals, and aromatic compounds with multiple heteroatom substitutions, as well as nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur-substituted aryl free radicals.The polarity of nitrogen-substituted carbon-centered free radicals is shown in … Read more

The Latest and Most Comprehensive Study on the Polarity of Free Radical Intermediates

The polarity of free radical intermediates has a profound impact on their reactivity and selectivity. To quantify this effect and predict its outcomes, the Nagib research group at Ohio State University calculated the electrophilicity/nucleophilicity of over 500 types of free radicals. The figure also includes a simple “rule of thumb” for qualitatively predicting free radical … Read more
