TLDR
In this paper, the rate data for the generalized nucleophilic displacement reaction were reviewed, and the authors presented a method to estimate the rate of the generalized displacement reaction in terms of the number of nucleophiles.

Electronegativity values from thermochemical data

TL;DR: In this paper, the electronegativities of sixtynine elements have been calculated from the most recent thermochemical data, and the mean deviation of the calculated electronegativity difference, 0·208 √ †, from the difference of the average electrone-gativities is 0·046 units.
