  2. Fukui function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukui_function

    The Fukui function is named after Kenichi Fukui, who investigated the frontier orbitals described by the function, specifically the HOMO and LUMO. [3] Fukui functions are related in part to the frontier molecular orbital theory (also known as the Fukui theory of reactivity and selection, also developed by Kenichi Fukui) which discusses how nucleophiles attack the HOMO while at the same time ...

    Kenichi Fukui (福井 謙一, Fukui Ken'ichi, October 4, 1918 – January 9, 1998) was a Japanese chemist. [1] He became the first person of East Asian ancestry to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry when he won the 1981 prize with Roald Hoffmann , for their independent investigations into the mechanisms of chemical reactions .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weitao_Yang

    Yang's main contributions to theoretical chemistry range from fundamental theory to applications of density functional theory. He (with Parr) developed the concepts of the Fukui function, [1] hardness, and softness [2] in density functional theory. He also justified the theoretical ground of potential functional (as in Optimized-Effective ...

    Thermolysis converts 1 to (E,E) geometric isomer 2, but 3 to (E,Z) isomer 4.. The Woodward–Hoffmann rules (or the pericyclic selection rules) [1] are a set of rules devised by Robert Burns Woodward and Roald Hoffmann to rationalize or predict certain aspects of the stereochemistry and activation energy of pericyclic reactions, an important class of reactions in organic chemistry.
