Isosurface representations of the Laplacian of (a)–(c) the ED and (d)–(f) the ELI for three model compounds studied by Grabowsky et al. (2011). Compound 1: propenal, 2: (E)-allylidenehydrazine and 3: acrylamide. The ELI conveys more immediate information about reactivity than the Laplacian of the ED.
