34. It may be noted that while the inverse relationship between electrophilicity and nucleophilicity have been successfully utilized in this set of molecules, providing good correlation between experimental and computed results, that does not mean that a weak electrophile automatically becomes a strong nucleophile and vice versa. Indeed in many studies involving organic compounds this inverse relationship did not work. For recent demonstration of such a view please see: Domingo, L. R.; Aurell, M. J.; Perez, P.; Contreras, R.

49. It may be noted that while the Hammett correlation coefficients are nearly similar for both methods III and IV, we have found that method III correctly predicts the higher nucleophilicity of thiophenol than ethylbenzene, whereas method IV wrongly predicts the opposite. Thus the method III derived classification of moderate nucleophiles at the boundary of alkylbenzene correlates well with experiment.

56. The reader may note that the local nucleophilicity indices do not conform well in predicting intermolecular reactivity order in a group of arenes and heteroarenes containing an electron-withdrawing group. Geerling et a.l has also observed that Fukui function works less well for arenes having deactivating functional groups. Please see: Langenaeker, W.; De Proft, F.; Geerlings, P. J. Phys.
