A Structural Bridge between Alternant and Non-alternant Hydrocarbons
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple set of trimethylene-substituted even, fully-π-bonded, non-alternant monocycles is shown to have several key features in common with acyclic, even alternant polyenes at the Hückel level. These non-alternant molecules provide a bridge between alternant and non-alternant hydrocarbons. This topic might serve as a useful addition to Hückel theory courses targeted at senior undergraduate students.

In the quantum theory ·of the electrnnic st:riucture of molecules, · the diffe., rence between the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) the so-called »HOMO-LUMO separation« plays an important role1 • We shall denote this quantity by S. Relatively little has been done tin elucidating the relationship between mole...

We investigate the role of Kekulé and non-Kekulé structures in the radical character of alternant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using thermally-assisted-occupation density functional theory (TAO-DFT), an efficient electronic structure method for the study of large ground-state systems with strong static correlation effects. Our results reveal that the studies of Kekulé and non-Kekulé ...
متن کاملThe Splitting Theorem and Properties of Alternant Systems
The notion of alternant systems, as defined in various semiempirical theories of alternant hydrocabrons, is generalised to arbitrary symmetric Hamiltonians. Alternant operators are shown to be linear combinations of the so called reduced alterpant operators, and a simple construction of an arbitrary (symmetric) . alternant Hamiltonian is presented. A simple test to decide whether a given symmet...
متن کاملA Class of Lower Bounds for Total 7t-Electron Energy of Alternant Conjugated Hydrocarbons
For alternant hydrocarbons whose molecular graphs possess n vertices and m edges Tiirker recently put forward a lower bound for total n-electron energy (E), namely (1/2) (2 m n)1/2 :$ E (*). The original proof of (*) contains an error. We propose an alternative method for proving (*), which applies to all molecular graphs, except perhaps to some containing very many fourmembered cycles. As a by...
