Relation between the substituent effect and aromaticity.

Substituent Effect on the Aromaticity of 1 , 3 - Azole Systems

The substituent effect on benzene dications.

It was recently postulated that the benzene ring and its 4n + 2 π-electron analogues are resistant to the substituent effect due to the fact that such systems tend to retain their delocalized character. Therefore, the 4n π-electron dicationic form of benzene should appear to be less resistant to the substituent effect, as compared with its parent neutral molecule. For this reason the effect of ...

Substituent effects on the aromaticity of carbocyclic five-membered rings.

The influence of the substituent nature, as well as the number and position of the substituents, on the aromaticity/antiaromaticity of a comprehensive set of derivatives of cyclopentadienyl anion, cyclopentadiene and cyclopentadienyl cation has been analyzed. The aromaticity/antiaromaticity of substituted cyclopentadienyl derivatives has been measured using energetic, magnetic and structural cr...

(p) of the Rotated Nitro Group. The Interplay Between the Substituent Effect of a Rotated −NO2 Group and H-Bonds Affecting π-Electron Delocalization in 4-Nitrophenol and 4-Nitrophenolate Complexes: a B3LYP/6-311+G** Study*

The geometries of a series of nine 4-substituted nitrophenols and 4-substituted nitrophenolates (X = H, CONH2, CHO, COOH, COCH3, COCl, CN, NO2, NO) and of their conformers, where the nitro group rotates by 10o from  = 0° to  = 90°, were optimized at the B3LYP/6-311+G** DFT level. These data were used to analyse the effect of rotating of the nitro group on -electron delocalization in the ring...

How the Substituent Effect Influences π-Electron Delocalisation in the Ring of Reactants in the Reaction Defining the Hammett Substituent Constants σm and σp

Application of the geometry (HOMA, EN, GEO) and magnetism based (NICS, NICS(1)) indices of aromaticity to optimised geometry of the ring in 12 meta – and 12 para – substituted benzoic acids and their anions by use of DFT computations at B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level has shown a very low substituent effect on the π-electron delocalisation. This resembles (qualitatively) the resistance of benzene (and...
