Aromaticity of a series of poly-2,7-[N]calicenes

The nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) criterion of aromaticity is used to evaluate the aromaticity of a series of poly-2,7-[N]calicenes. The geometry and NICS values of all poly-2,7-[N] calicenes and reference molecules (calicene, bicalicene, benzene, cyclopentadienyl anion and cyclopropenyl...

Zusammenfassung:The nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) criterion of aromaticity is used to evaluate the aromaticity of a series of poly-2,7-[N]calicenes. The geometry and NICS values of all poly-2,7-[N] calicenes and reference molecules (calicene, bicalicene, benzene, cyclopentadienyl anion and cyclopropenyl cation) are evaluated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of computational theory. The NICS data indicate that all poly-2,7-[N]calicenes studied are aromatic, and aromaticity increases as the number of calicene units (N) increases.
