That branch of DFT aiming to give precision to often well known but rather
vaguely defined chemical concepts such as electronegativity,
chemical hardness, softness, …, to extend the existing descriptors and to use
them to describe chemical bonding and reactivity either as such or within

the HSAB principle, the Maximum Hardness Principle …

3. An EEM Appraoch based on the Grand Canonical Ensemble Theory
Previous Approach
• Electrophilicity: interaction between a system and a perfect electron donor⇒ ideal system with zero chemical potential.
• Now: simulation of chemical environment of oxidized and reduced species by an electron bath with constant chemical potential µelectrode =electrode in experimental electrochemistry
• Open systems: exchange of electrons when µelectrode is changed

5. Conclusions
• Conceptual DFT offers a framework for the interpretation of redox
chemistry
• The electrophilicity turns out to be a key descriptor to get insight
into the redox behaviour of Men+/Me(n-1)+ couples and gives quantative
information about a system’s ability to accept electrons
• The introduction of the chemical potential of the electrode resulted
Pag.9-9-2008 33
in a quantitative estimate of the redox potential for reversible one–
electron half–reactions.
• The disgression about vertical quantities (A,I) combined with
Gazquez’s recent expressions for µ+ and µ- leads to an excellent
correlation between caculated and experimental Redox potentials with
fair account for reorganisation effects.
