title: Unexpected dual orbital effects in radical addition reactions involving acyl, silyl and related radicals.
abstract: Molecular orbital calculations reveal that acyl and silyl radicals add to numerous types of pi-systems through simultaneous SOMO-LUMO and LUMO-HOMO interactions of the radical with the radicalophile respectively.
