Abstract
A new electronic structure principle, namely, the principle of electrophilicity equalization, is proposed. A qualitative rationale as well as numerical support for the same is provided. Equalization of electronegativity and hardness implies that of electrophilicity. Molecular electrophilicity may be expressed roughly as the geometric mean of the electrophilicities of the isolated atoms.

Absolute hardness: companion parameter to absolute electronegativity

TL;DR: In this paper, a property called absolute hardness eta is defined for neutral and charged species, atomic and molecular, for both hard and soft acids and bases, by making use of the hypothesis that extra stability attends bonding of A to B when the ionization potentials of A and B in the molecule are the same.

Electronegativity: The density functional viewpoint

TL;DR: The concept of electronegativity is defined in this paper as the negative of the chemical potential (the Lagrange multiplier for the normalization constraint) in the Hohenberg-Kohn density functional theory of the ground state: χ =−μ=−(∂E/∂N)v.
