A generalized concept of philicity is introduced through a resolution identity, encompassing electrophilic, nucleophilic, and radial reactions. Locally, particular molecular site may be more prone to electrophilic attack or another nucleophilic attack, but the overall whole molecule remains conserved. Local by far most powerful reactivity selectivity when compared global electrophilicity index, Fukui function, local softness, softness because it contains information about almost all known...
