the view that chemical reactivity is governed mainly by interaction between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals.

In organic chemistry, frontier molecular orbital theory refers to the view that chemical reactivity is governed mainly by interaction between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals. This meaning comes from Fukui (1952) in The Journal of Chemical Physics.[1]
