TLDR
In this paper, a direct computational means for obtaining a measure of a substituent's total electron-attracting tendency is presented; it involves the calculation of ab initio SCF molecular orbital wavefunctions and electrostatic potentials of substituted amines.

Quantifying the electronic effect of substituted phosphine ligands via molecular electrostatic potential.

TL;DR: Values of the molecular electrostatic potential minimum corresponding to the lone pair region of several substituted phosphine ligands have been determined at the DFT level and correlations suggest that V(min) is a quantitative measure of the sigma-donating ability of the phosphine.

Correlations between molecular electrostatic potentials and some experimentally-based indices of reactivity

TL;DR: The key role of electrostatics plays in molecular reactive behavior is demonstrated in this paper, which surveys and further explores correlations that are found between the molecular electrostatic potential V(r) calculated by an ab initio SCF-MO approach (a gas phase property) and experimentally-based indices of reactivity (derived from solution studies).

Electronegativity and the concept of charge capacity

TL;DR: In this paper, a general discussion of electronegativity and equalization is presented as background for the concept of charge capacity; the latter is the ability of an atom to absorb or yield electronic charge.
