Project description
Evolving molecular electron density theory for studying organic molecule reactions
The breaking and forming of chemical bonds in chemical reactions is associated with the depletion and accumulation of electron density between atoms. The recently proposed molecular electron density theory delineates the role of electron density changes in the reactivity of organic molecules. Building on the new chemical insights obtained by the application of this theory to pericyclic reactions and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, the Extending MEDT project, funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, aims to further develop molecular electron density theory and design more precise computational tools. The project's ultimate goal is to prove that it is a preferable theory for describing the chemical reactivity of organic molecules.
