An exhaustive and systematic study of the structural and electronic properties of cyclooctatetraene (COT) upon substitution of hydrogen atoms by fluoro and cyano groups has been carried out in order to analyse the influence of both substituents on the aromaticity. We found that C-C distances decrease with fluoro substitution while in cyano derivatives the opposite happens. All the compounds ret...

SPLIT is a simple prototype Lawful Interception software system which is used to evaluate the viability of using both standard network cards and specialised monitoring hardware for the purpose. Lawful Interception requires reliable packet capture, filtering and protocol analysis on high bandwidth links. While standard NICs can take on these various roles, their performance is only adequate in c...

substitution of two or four carbon atoms by nitrogen in the corannulene molecule as a carbon nanostructure was done and the obtained structures were optimized at mp2/6-31g(d) level of theory. calculations of the nucleus-independent chemical shift (nics) were performed to analyze the aromaticity of the corannulene rings and its derivatives upon doping with n at b3lyp/6-31g(d) level of theory. re...

Thermal power plants (TPPs) and national industrial complexes (NICs) are widely known as being among the major causes of changes in concentrations fine particulate matter (PM2.5). However, little is about PM2.5 concentration caused by operation these facilities South Korea health burden attributable to them, including early death. There were two purposes this study. The first was quantitatively...

Molecular geometries of benzene and its 18 monosubstituted derivatives were optimized at B3LYP/6-311+G** level of theory. The changes of pi-electron delocalization of the benzene fragment were estimated by use of aromatic stabilization energies (ASE) based on different homodesmotic reaction schemes, geometry-based HOMA model, magnetism-based NICS, NICS(1), NICS(1)zz, and an electronic delocaliz...

In this study, an effort has been made to analyze the aromaticity of oligomers phenylenes and thiophenes, with presence absence linkers using Nucleus-Independent Chemical Shift (NICS) as a descriptor. The relation between HOMO–LUMO gaps, reorganization excitation energies respective NICS values employed develop structure-aromaticity-conjugation spectroscopy relationship (SACSR). Results show th...

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...
