Preferred Label : selectivity;
IUPAC definition : the term also sometimes refers to the ratio of products obtained from given reactants.
this meaning is of importance for catalysts, which can have a wide range of selectivities.
selectivity is quantitatively expressed by ratios of rate constants for the alternative
reactions, or by the decadic logarithms of such ratios.; it sometimes refers to the discrimination shown by a given reactant a when it reacts
with two alternative reactants b and c, or in two different ways (e.g. at two different
sites) with a reactant b.;
