The computational road to reactivity scales

Abstract

Reactivity scales are useful research tools for chemists, both experimental and computational. However, to determine the reactivity of a single molecule, multiple measurements need to be carried out, which is a time-consuming and resource-intensive task. In this Tutorial Review, we present alternative approaches for the efficient generation of quantitative structure–reactivity relationships that are based on quantum chemistry, supervised learning, and uncertainty quantification. First published in 2002, we observe a tendency for these relationships to become not only more predictive but also more interpretable over time.
