Using natural bond orbital theory, aromatic stabilisation energies (NBO-ASEs) were calculated for neutral and cationic monoheterocyclic three-membered rings C2H2X(R)n (X = group 14-17 elements of rows 3-5; R F, H or SiH3; n 0-2). Generally, there was a decrease in the (anti)aromatic nature molecule moving down as either stabilizing overlap (aromaticity) destabilising interactions (antiaromatici...

Twelve bis(benzazole) structures with potential ligand character were investigated by means of computational chemistry. Global and local reactivity descriptors within DFT (Density Functional Theory) theory (Fukui functions, chemical potential, hardness, electrophilicity index) have been computed at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. NICS(0) (Nucleus Independent Chemical Shift) index computations...

This work introduces a new local aromaticity measure, defined as the mean of Bader's electron delocalization index (DI) of para-related carbon atoms in six-membered rings. This new electronic criterion of aromaticity is based on the fact that aromaticity is related to the cyclic delocalized distribution of pi-electrons. We have found that this DI and the harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity...

In view of the fact that the phosphorus atom in its low co-ordination state (coordination numbers 1 and 2) has been termed as the carbon copy, there have been attempts to investigate, theoretically as well as experimentally, the effect of the exchange(s) of CH- moiety with phosphorus atom(s) (CH/P) on the structural and other aspects of the classical carbocyclic and heterocyclic systems. Tropyl...

The nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) and electron density profiles along the inner and outer regions defined by the two stacked aromatic rings of [2.2]paracyclophane have been analyzed and compared to those of free benzene and p-xylene and benzene dimers taken as reference models. It is found that stacked aromatic rings show a reduction of the NICS indicator of aromaticity as compared...

As compared to classical organic aromatic compounds, the evaluation of aromaticity in all-metal and semimetal clusters is much more complex. For a series of these clusters, it is frequently found that different methods used to discuss aromaticity lead to divergent conclusions. For this reason, there is a need to evaluate the reliability of the different descriptors of aromaticity to provide cor...

Diazoxide have several potential effectors that may potentially contribute to cardio protection. It is used manage symptoms of hypoglycemia caused by pancreas cancer, surgery, or other conditions. also acts as a non-diuretic antihypertensive agent. possessing various tautomeric forms should display variable biological properties depending on its tautomer content. exhibit 1,3- and 1,5-type proto...

The title mol-ecule, C(8)H(6)BrNS(2), is almost planar with a dihedral angle of 0.9 (1)° between the benzene and thia-zole rings. The values of the geometry-based index of aromaticity (HOMA) and the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) for the two cyclic fragments of the title mol-ecule are 0.95 and -9.61, respectively, for the benzene ring, and 0.69 and -7.71, respectively, for the thia-z...

B3LYP/6-31G* calculations were carried out on adducts formed by the interaction of a cyclic unsaturated aminocarbene with carbenoid moieties CH2, SiH2, NH, PH, O or S. The bonding mode has been described using the Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) partitioning schemes, the Charge-Decomposition Analysis (CDA) and the topological analysis of the Electron Localization Function (ELF). A donor–acceptor int...

Oxidation of m- and p-substituted benzylidene fluorenes to antiaromatic dications was attempted by electrochemical and chemical means. Electrochemical oxidation to dications was successful for benzylidene fluorenes with p-methoxy, p-methyl, p-fluoro, and unsubstituted phenyl rings in the 3-position; attempts to oxidize the m-substituted derivatives via electrochemistry were unsuccessful. Chemic...
