An electrophilic aromatic substitution is a process where one atom or group on an aromatic ring is replaced by an incoming electrophile. The reactivity and regioselectivity of this category of reactions is significantly impacted by the group that is already attached to the aromatic ring. Groups promoting substitution at the ortho/para and meta position are called ortho/para and meta directing groups, respectively. Earlier, we have shown that regioselectivity of the electrophilic aromatic substitution is dictated by the nucleophilicity of the substituted aromatic ring, which is proportional to the Hirshfeld charge on the regioselective site. Ortho/para directing groups have the largest negative charge values at the ortho/para positions, whereas meta directing groups often have the largest negative charge value at the meta position. The electron donation or acceptance feature of a substitution group is irrelevant to the regioselectivity. In this contribution, we extend our previous study by quantifying the reactivity for this kind of reactions. To that end, we examine the transition-state structure and activation energy of an identity reaction for a series of monosubstituted-benzene molecules reacting with hydrogen fluoride using BF3 as the catalyst in the gas phase. A total of 18 substitution groups will be considered, nine of which are ortho/para directing and the other nine groups meta directing. From this study, we found that the barrier height of these reactions strongly correlates with the Hirshfeld charge on the regioselective site for both ortho/para and meta directing groups, with the correlation coefficient R-2 both better than 0.96. We also discovered a less accurate correlation between the barrier height and HOMO energy. These results reconfirm the validity and effectiveness of employing the Hirshfeld charge as a reliable descriptor of both reactivity and regioselectivity for this vastly important category of chemical transformations.
