  1. aMolecules (m) involved in the reaction with distinguishable roles: mqsi = Substrate (Subq), Product (Prodq), Nucleophile (Nucq), Catalyst (Catq), and Solvent (Solvq)
  2. bPTOs with formula ΔV(mq, mr)g = [V(mq)g–V(mr)]g. These PTOs measure the variation of the value of the molecular property/structural variable (V) in the query molecules mqwith respect to the value for molecule mr with the same role in the reaction of reference. The values of Vk(mq)g are average values of the properties Vk = Sanderson Electronegativities (χ), Polarizabilities, etc., for all the atoms in the group g and all their neighboring atoms placed at a topological distance k ≤ 5. Consequently, these properties have been calculated for all the atoms in the molecule (Tot) or for subsets of atoms (group g). The groups of atoms studied are g = unsaturated carbons (Cuns), saturated carbons (Csat), Heteroatoms (Het), Heteroatoms non-Halogen (HetNoX)
