Aromaticity , - electron delocalization , and ring currents *
The magnetic criterion of aromaticity is based on the ability of a cyclic system to support a ring current. If the ring current has the diatropic sense, the system is aromatic; if the sense is paratropic, the system is antiaromatic. Attribution of aromaticity ab initio therefore reduces to the calculation and visualization of induced current density. This can be achieved at modest computational...
متن کاملHow do electron localization functions describe π-electron delocalization?
Scalar fields provide an intuitive picture of chemical bonding. In particular, the electron localization function (ELF) has proven to be highly valuable in interpreting a broad range of bonding patterns. The discrimination between enhanced or reduced electron (de)localization within cyclic π-conjugated systems remains, however, challenging for ELF. In order to clearly distinguish between the lo...
متن کاملElectron delocalization and aromaticity in linear polyacenes: atoms in molecules multicenter delocalization index.
Molecular aromaticity in the linear polyacenes is investigated using an atoms in molecules based six center index (SCI-AIM) which measures the electron delocalization. SCI-AIM values for the linear polyacenes indicate decreasing aromaticity going from outer to inner rings in the polyacene series. The SCI-AIM approach is compared to a Mulliken-like approach, and a critical comparison to the PDI ...
متن کاملThe aromatic fluctuation index (FLU): a new aromaticity index based on electron delocalization.
In this work, the aromatic fluctuation index (FLU) that describes the fluctuation of electronic charge between adjacent atoms in a given ring is introduced as a new aromaticity measure. This new electronic criterion of aromaticity is based on the fact that aromaticity is related to the cyclic delocalized circulation of pi electrons. It is defined not only considering the amount of electron shar...
متن کاملDeciphering aromaticity in porphyrinoids via adaptive natural density partitioning.
The adaptive natural density partitioning (AdNDP) method has been applied for the first time to porphyrinoids in order to describe their aromaticity. The analysis of π-electron system reveals that aromaticity of annulene originates from 6-π-electron delocalization, while aromaticity of porphyrin can be better described in terms of local aromaticities of the appended 6-π-electron pyrrolic hetero...
