Analysis of 12 three-atom-components (TACs) participating in [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions towards ethylene and acetylene allows establishing good correlations between the pseudodiradical character, the hardness n, and the nucleophilicity N index of the TAC with the feasibility of these nonpolar reaction. These results allow the introduction of the pr index, which comprises the two aforementioned DFT reactivity indices. The increase of the pr index for an allylic-type TAC goes accompanied by a linear decrease of the activation enthalpy of the reaction. The present study makes it possible to establish a useful classification of 32CA reactions into zw-type reactions involving TACs with a high zwitterionic character, and pr-type reactions involving TACs with a high pseudodiradical character.
