Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

A rudimentary treatment of density functional theory (DFT) is presented in this article. Various global and local reactivity descriptors are defined within the broad framework of conceptual DFT. A theory of chemical reactivity is developed in terms of these descriptors and the associated electronic structure principles.
