Half a century after the Q‐e scheme was promulgated, a substantially improved method for predicting monomer reactivity ratios and transfer constants has been developed from the Patterns of Reactivity scheme. It is based on the same premise as its predecessors, that reactivity is controlled partly by thermodynamic and partly by polar factors, but the new treatment yields values much closer, on average, to the reported experimental data.
