Abstract

In line with the charge transfer (DeltaNmax = -mu/eta) proposed by Parr et al. (Parr, R. G.; Szentpály, L. V.; Liu, S. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1999, 121, 1922), we propose an electrophilicity-based charge transfer (ECT) descriptor in this paper and validate it through the interaction between a series of chlorophenols and DNA bases. Application of ECT can be extended to the interaction of any toxin with the biosystem.
