How do electron localization functions describe π-electron delocalization?
Scalar fields provide an intuitive picture of chemical bonding. In particular, the electron localization function (ELF) has proven to be highly valuable in interpreting a broad range of bonding patterns. The discrimination between enhanced or reduced electron (de)localization within cyclic π-conjugated systems remains, however, challenging for ELF. In order to clearly distinguish between the lo...
متن کاملCovalent Character of Hydrogen Bonds Enhanced by π-Electron Delocalization*
Interactions classified as intermolecular resonance assisted hydrogen bonds (RAHBs) are analyzed here. Hence the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) calculations for dimers of formic, acetic and pyrrole-2carboxylic acid (PCA) were performed. The similar calculations were carried out for formamide and its fluorine derivatives’ dimers as well as the tautomeric forms of the latter species. The Quantum theory of Ato...
متن کاملNanoscale π–π stacked molecules are bound by collective charge fluctuations
Non-covalent π-π interactions are central to chemical and biological processes, yet the full understanding of their origin that would unite the simplicity of empirical approaches with the accuracy of quantum calculations is still missing. Here we employ a quantum-mechanical Hamiltonian model for van der Waals interactions, to demonstrate that intermolecular electron correlation in large supramo...
متن کاملOn the Harmonic Oscillator Model of Electron Delocalization (HOMED) Index and its Application to Heteroatomic π-Electron Systems
The HOMA (Harmonic Oscillator Model of Aromaticity) index, reformulated in 1993, has been very often applied to describe π-electron delocalization for monoand polycyclic π-electron systems. However, different measures of π-electron delocalization were employed for the CC, CX, and XY bonds, and this index seems to be inappropriate for compounds containing heteroatoms. In order to describe proper...
متن کاملElectron-topological, energetic and π-electron delocalization analysis of ketoenamine-enolimine tautomeric equilibrium
The ketoenamine-enolimine tautometic equilibrium has been studied by the analysis of aromaticity and electron-topological parameters. The influence of substituents on the energy of the transition state and of the tautomeric forms has been investigated for different positions of chelate chain. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules method (QTAIM) has been applied to study changes in the electr...
