Both Fukui and Parr indices have been calculated to explain and show the most reactive sites. The electrostatic surface potential has also been studied and analyzed in order to show the positive and negative regions responsible of the possible interaction between the two studied reactants. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental findings.}, number={3}, publisher={Koray SAYIN}
