取代基效应是建立分子结构与化学行为之间定量关系的重要工具. 经典的取代基参数多适用于极性分子, 对包含自旋离域作用的开壳层体系的电子效应描述能力有限. 近年来, 研究者陆续建立了针对有机自由基体系的取代基效应定量分析方法, 扩充了相关的参数标度, 为反应机理的解析和新反应的设计提供了有力手段. 本文从标度的建立及其在机理研究中的应用两个方面出发, 综述了近三十年来面向自由基化学的取代基效应研究代表性进展, 着重介绍标度建立的方法, 参数所蕴含的规律, 以及利用取代基效应分析反应机理的典型实例.

Substituent effects constitute an essential tool for establishing quantitative relationships between molecular structure and chemical behavior. Classical substituent parameters are primarily applicable to polar molecular systems and exhibit limited capability in describing electronic effects in open-shell systems involving spin delocalization. In recent years, a variety of quantitative approaches to substituent effects have been developed for organic radical systems, leading to an expansion of the available parameter scales and providing powerful tools for mechanistic elucidation and the design of new reactions. This review surveys representative advances over the past three decades in the study of substituent effects in radical chemistry, focusing on both the development of substituent parameters and their applications in mechanistic investigations. Particular emphasis is placed on the methodologies for parameter establishment, the underlying pattern that parameters reveal, and representative examples of their use in probing reaction mechanisms.

Key words: substituent effects, radical chemistry, linear free energy relationships, dual-parameter model, reaction mechanisms
