A number of novel QSAR descriptors have been introduced on the basis of the previously elaborated models for steric and inductive effects. The developed "inductive" parameters include absolute and effective electronegativity, atomic partial charges, and local and global chemical hardness and softness. Being based on traditional inductive and steric substituent constants these 3D descriptors provide a valuable insight into intramolecular steric and electronic interactions and can find broad application in structure-activity studies. Possible interpretation of physical meaning of the inductive descriptors has been suggested by considering a neutral molecule as an electrical capacitor formed by charged atomic spheres. This approximation relates inductive chemical softness and hardness of bound atom(s) with the total area of the facings of electrical capacitor formed by the atom(s) and the rest of the molecule. The derived full electronegativity equalization scheme allows iterative calculation of inductive partial charges on the basis of atomic electronegativities, covalent radii, and intramolecular distances. A range of inductive descriptors has been computed for a variety of organic compounds. The calculated inductive charges in the studied molecules have been validated by experimental C-1s Electron Core Binding Energies and molecular dipole moments. Several semiempirical chemical rules, such as equalized electronegativity's arithmetic mean, principle of maximum hardness, and principle of hardness borrowing could be explicitly illustrated in the framework of the developed approach.
