[ 1 ] - A theoretical study on halogen-π interactions: X-C2-Y…C8H8 complexes

M06-2X functional was employed to study halogen-π interactions in X-C2-Y…C8H8 complexes (X, Y=H, F, Cl, and Br). In fact, interactions of mono- or di-halogenated acetylenes and planar cyclooctatetraene as an anti-aromatic π system were considered. Relationship between binding energies of the complexes and charge transfer effects was investigated. Also, electronic charge density values were calc...

[ 2 ] - Theoretical study of - stacking interactions in substituted-coronene||cyclooctatetraene complexes: A system without direct electrostatic effects of substituents

Stability of the ;-; stacking interactions in the substituted-coronene||cyclooctatetraene complexes wasstudied using the computational quantum chemistry methods (where || denotes ;–; stackinginteraction, and substituted-coronene is coronene which substituted with four similar X groups; X =OH, SH, H, F, CN, and NO). There are meaningful correlations between changes of geometricalparameters and t...

[ 3 ] - Theoretical study of the effects of substituent and quadrupole moment on π-π stacking interactions with coronene

Stability of the π-π stacking interactions in the Ben||substituted-coronene and HFBen||substituted-coronene complexes was studied using the computational quantum chemistry methods (where Ben and HFBen are benzene and hexaflourobenzene, || denotes π-π stacking interaction, substituted-coronene is coronene molecule which substituted with four X groups, and X= NH2, CH3, OH, H, F, CF3, CN and NO). ...
