Careful scrutiny of the philicity concept
The philicity concept [J. Phys. Chem. A 2003, 107, 4973] is put in proper perspective. In the present work we analyze different physicochemical problems using philicity. It provides satisfactory results in all such cases. We also compare the relative electro(nucleo)philicity with philicity to show that philicity is better than relative electro(nucleo)philicity when the intermolecular reactivity trends are considered and there is hardly any preference of one above the other as far as the intramolecular reactivities are concerned. On the contrary, the philicity concept has some advantages over the other concept.
