Aromaticity , - electron delocalization , and ring currents *
The magnetic criterion of aromaticity is based on the ability of a cyclic system to support a ring current. If the ring current has the diatropic sense, the system is aromatic; if the sense is paratropic, the system is antiaromatic. Attribution of aromaticity ab initio therefore reduces to the calculation and visualization of induced current density. This can be achieved at modest computational...
متن کاملChemical Bonding and Aromaticity From Electronic Delocalization Descriptors
Red wine contains a complex mixture of bioactive compounds, including flavonols, monomeric and polymeric flavan-3-ols, highly colored anthocyanins, as well as phenolic acids and the stilbene polyphenol, trans-resveratrol. Some of these compounds, particularly resveratrol, appear to have health benefits. In particular, resveratrol exhibits also therapeutic potential for cancer chemoprevention as...
متن کاملElectron 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 ...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملElectron delocalization and aromaticity in low-lying excited states of archetypal organic compounds.
Aromaticity is a property usually linked to the ground state of stable molecules. Although it is well-known that certain excited states are unquestionably aromatic, the aromaticity of excited states remains rather unexplored. To move one step forward in the comprehension of aromaticity in excited states, in this work we analyze the electron delocalization and aromaticity of a series of low-lyin...
