Ricardo
de Carvalho Ferreira, Brazilian chemist (Recife 16 January 1928 – Recife 30 July 2013) Authored 129 papers (until 2010) Elaborated the concept of orbital
electronegativity Studied the relationship of concept of electronegativity and its connection with the character of the molecular orbitals Proposed that adaptative enzymes of orbital symmetry that catalyze bimolecular reactions would have two active centers while that others that catalyze single molecular reactions would have only one active center
Enzymes as orbital symmetry adapters. J. Theor. Biol. 39:665-8, 1953 Proposed a
modification of Kosiakoff-Harker method to calculate the aqueous ionization
constants of some inorganic acids (1957) SOME BIBLIOGRAPHY
