The aromatic fluctuation index (FLU): a new aromaticity index based on electron delocalization.

In this work, the aromatic fluctuation index (FLU) that describes the fluctuation of electronic charge between adjacent atoms in a given ring is introduced as a new aromaticity measure. This new electronic criterion of aromaticity is based on the fact that aromaticity is related to the cyclic delocalized circulation of pi electrons. It is defined not only considering the amount of electron shar...

Electron delocalization and aromaticity in linear polyacenes: atoms in molecules multicenter delocalization index.

Molecular aromaticity in the linear polyacenes is investigated using an atoms in molecules based six center index (SCI-AIM) which measures the electron delocalization. SCI-AIM values for the linear polyacenes indicate decreasing aromaticity going from outer to inner rings in the polyacene series. The SCI-AIM approach is compared to a Mulliken-like approach, and a critical comparison to the PDI ...

The delocalization index as an electronic aromaticity criterion: application to a series of planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

This work introduces a new local aromaticity measure, defined as the mean of Bader's electron delocalization index (DI) of para-related carbon atoms in six-membered rings. This new electronic criterion of aromaticity is based on the fact that aromaticity is related to the cyclic delocalized distribution of pi-electrons. We have found that this DI and the harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity...

Comment on "Dynamic ion association in aqueous solutions of sulfate" [J. Chem. Phys. 123, 034508 (2005)].

The "dynamic exchange" model of ion association proposed by Watanabe and Hamaguchi, [J. Chem. Phys.123, 034508 (2005)] for aqueous solutions of MgSO4 is shown to be inconsistent with the extensive information available from Raman, relaxation, and thermodynamic studies, all of which can be explained by the Eigen equilibrium model.
