Misconceptions in global reactions and formula writing
t
The frequently used concept of “global reaction” is discussed and the reason for the confusion behind explained. The misconception is cleared
by formula writing based on the donor–acceptor (donac) reaction concept and by applying the Grand Rule of Formula Writing that is based on it.
Erroneously written and thought-hampering “global reac￾tions”, as now discussed, is just one example of the need to
“increase our knowledge”, as the Scottish philosopher W. A.
Sinclair puts it.
He writes ([9]): “To increase our knowledge is
to alter for the better our ways of ‘selecting’ and ‘grouping’
[10]; to notice it in ways which are new to us, and probably
strange”. And further: “we move from one to another without
noticing it”, which is exactly what led to “global reaction”.
