  1. The property of being @[email protected]
  2. The relative reactivity of a nucleophilic @[email protected] (It is also sometimes referred to as 'nucleophilic @[email protected]'.) Qualitatively, the concept is related to @[email protected] However, whereas @[email protected] is measured by relative equilibrium constants:

    nucleophilicity of a @[email protected] is measured by relative @[email protected] of different nucleophilic reagents towards a common substrate, most commonly involving formation of a bond to carbon:
