Abstract

The influence of the solvents on the transmission of polar effects in free radical reactions has been analysed theoretically by using the combined approach based on the incorporation of delocalizabilities as static indices of chemical reactivity into the framework of virtual charge model. The possibility of using this theoretical description as a general methodology of characterizing solvent effects is discussed.
