nucleophilicity

  1. The property of being @N04249@.
  2. The relative reactivity of a nucleophilic @R05190@. (It is also sometimes referred to as 'nucleophilic @P04792@'.) Qualitatively, the concept is related to @L03512@. However, whereas @L03512@ is measured by relative equilibrium constants:

    nucleophilicity of a @L03511@ is measured by relative @O04322@ of different nucleophilic reagents towards a common substrate, most commonly involving formation of a bond to carbon:
