Transferability (chemistry)

Transferability, in chemistry, is the assumption that a chemical property that is associated with an atom or a functional group in a molecule will have a similar (but not identical) value in a variety of different circumstances.[1] Examples of transferable properties include:
- Electronegativity
- Nucleophilicity
- Chemical shifts in NMR spectroscopy
- Characteristic frequencies in Infrared spectroscopy
- bond length and bond angle
- bond energy
Transferable properties are distinguished from conserved properties, which are assumed to always have the same value whatever the chemical situation, e.g. relative atomic mass.
