Nucleophilicity Model

- Prediction methods: Extra Trees and rSPOC (reactivity SPOC) descriptors with MAE=1.00 and r²=0.96 (90:10 train test split).

- Dataset: The nucleophilicity dataset contains 1115 experimental N parameters. The experimental data comes from the Mayr’s Database of Reactivity Parameters, for more details please refer to Mayr's Database.

Electrophilicity Model

- Prediction methods: Extra Trees and SPOC descriptors with MAE=1.49 and r²=0.92 (90:10 train test split).

- Dataset: The electrophilicity dataset contains 285 experimental E parameters. The experimental data comes from the Mayr's Database of Reactivity Parameters, for more details please refer to Mayr's Database.

Notes

- The dataset was refined during model construction by double-checking the outliers. For the N-dataset, the nucleophilicities of transition-metal complex, solvent mixtures, or those of multi-site reactant, P-nucleophiles and H-P nucleophiles were removed due to their scarcity. For E-dataset, we mainly focused on carbon-based electrophiles and those hetero-atom-centered or organometallic electrophiles were excluded.

- For SPOC descroptors, please refer to our previous work about pK_a prediction and SPOC.

- Abbreviations of solvents: DCM - dichloromethane, MeCN - Acetonitrile, DMSO - Dimethyl sulfoxide.
