چکیده

BiNi clusters have been studied using the hybrid B3LYP density functional and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) methods. Different cluster families have been characterized for each cluster size using B3LYP, and the energy differences have been compared with those obtained within DMC. The DMC results predict that the global minimum energy structures are rings for i ) 2-9, a three-ring structure for i ) 10 and spheroids for i g 11. The aromaticity of the ring structures has been studied using the nuclear independent chemical shifts (NICS) criterion. According to this criterion, rings with an odd number of BN units are aromatic. Aromatic structures are thought to be the most stable, and the DMC results for the most stable structures are consistent with this hypothesis, but in some cases, the B3LYP results are not.

An insight into the local aromaticities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and fullerenes.

In this work we quantify the local aromaticity of six-membered rings in a series of planar and bowl-shaped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and fullerenes. The evaluation of local aromaticity has been carried out through the use of structurally (HOMA) and magnetically (NICS) based measures, as well as by the use of a new electronically based indicator of aromaticity, the para delocalizat...

DFT Study of the Six-Membered Heterocyclic SinN6-nHn (n = 0-6): Stability and Aromaticity

One main group of organic chemistry is related to the aromatic compounds. In the present work, we replaced the CH group of benzene by silicon and nitrogen analogues. Then, Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out for six-membered heterocyclic Si-N aromatic rings. Full geometry optimizations were performed in gas-phase, and at B3LYP level using 6-311++G(d,p) and CBSB7 basis ...

A theoretical study about Substituted effect in current ring and aromaticity with NICS index in nano carrier Xylometazoline drug

Xylometazoline is a drug which is used as a topical nasal decongestant. It is applied directly into the nose, either as a spray or as drops. Xylometazoline is an imidazole derivative which is designed to mimic the molecular shape of adrenaline. It binds to alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa. Due to its sympathomimetic effects, it should not be used by people with high blood pressure...

Investigating the Effect of Changes of Halogenated Compounds on the Aromaticity Flow (NICS) of Composite Rings 5-fluorophenyl-1, 3, 7, 9-tetra methylpyrido [2,3-: d [d-5,6 dipyrimidine -2, 4, 6 and 8 tetron

In the combination of 5-fluorophenyl-1, 3, 7, 9-tetra methylpyrido [2, 3, d, d, 5, 6 dipyrimidine -2, 4, 6, and 8 tetron, there are 4 rings, respectively, ring that is attached to the halogen ring A and, respectively, a ring The lower and the right to the left of the ring A are called C, B, and D. Calculations and studies show that the amount of aromatics in halogen-ring A in all cases has the ...
