Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.
Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.

Authored annotation
acts as electron-pair acceptor
Authored explanation
Electrophilicity is a kinetic reactive role related to, but not identical with, Lewis acidity.
How to interpret this relation type
The target is a model, idealization, restricted ansatz, approximation scheme, phenomenological fit, or historical representation used for the source system or theory. It need not have a universal small error parameter and is not thereby a controlled limit or effective theory. The edge label and detail must identify the precise status.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored annotation
acts as electron-pair donor
Authored explanation
A ligand commonly acts as a Lewis base toward a central atom, with bonding that can also include metal-to-ligand back-donation.

It need not have a universal small error parameter and is not thereby a controlled limit or effective theory. The edge label and detail must identify the precise status.

acts as electron-pair donor
Authored explanation
Nucleophilicity is a kinetic reactive role related to, but not identical with, Lewis basicity as a thermodynamic donor concept.
How to interpret this relation type
The target is a model, idealization, restricted ansatz, approximation scheme, phenomenological fit, or historical representation used for the source system or theory. It need not have a universal small error parameter and is not thereby a controlled limit or effective theory. The edge label and detail must identify the precise status.

Authored annotation
forms donor–acceptor adducts
Authored explanation
Metal–ligand coordination can be described as Lewis-acid acceptance of ligand electron-pair density, while full bonding may include covalency and back-donation.
How to interpret this relation type
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
