Preferred Label : stereoelectronic control;
IUPAC definition : Control of the nature of the products of a chemical reaction (or of its rate) by stereoelectronic
factors. The term is usually applied in the framework of an orbital approximation.
The variations of molecular orbital energies with relative nuclear geometry (along
a reaction coordinate ) are then seen as consequences of variations in basis-orbital
overlaps.;
