Abstract
dc.description.abstract
We provide a new proof for Pearson’s hard/
soft acid/base (HSAB) principle. Unlike alternative proofs,
we do not presuppose a simplified parabolic dependence
on the energy of the system with respect to changes in its
number of electrons. Instead, we use the more physically
grounded finite-temperature formulation of the grand-canonical
ensemble. We show that under the usual assumptions
regarding the chemical potentials and hardnesses of the
involved species, the HSAB rule holds for a wide range of
temperatures.
