σ-constant
Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry
Specifically the substituent constant for meta- and for para-substituents in benzene derivatives as defined by Hammett on the basis of the ionisation constant of a substituted benzoic acid in water ...
Nitrenium ion
Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry

Sigma adduct
Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry
The product formed by the attachment of an electrophilic or nucleophilic entering group or of a radical to a ring carbon of an aromatic species so that a new sigma bond is formed and the original ...
+ multi-center reaction
Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry
A synonym for pericyclic reaction. The number of "centers" is the number of atoms not bonded initially, between which single bonds are breaking or new bonds are formed in the transition state. This ...

+ narcissistic reaction
Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry
A chemical reaction that can be described as the conversion of a reactant into its mirror image, without rotation or translation of the product, so that the product enantiomer actually coincides with ...
