Received: 23 April 2010; in revised form: 19 May 2010 / Accepted: 7 July 2010 / Published: 12 July 2010 Abstract: The HOMA (Harmonic Oscillator Model of Aromaticity) index, reformulated in 1993, has been very often applied to describe π-electron delocalization for mono- and polycyclic π-electron systems. However, different measures of π-electron delocalization were employed for the CC, CX, and XY bonds, and this index seems to be inappropriate for compounds containing heteroatoms. In order to describe properly various resonance effects (σ-π hyperconjugation, n-π conjugation, π-π conjugation, and aromaticity) possible for heteroatomic π-electron systems, some modifications, based on the original HOMA idea, were proposed and tested for simple DFT structures containing C, N, and O atoms. An abbreviation HOMED was used for the modified index. Keywords: geometry-based index; π -electron delocalization; σ - π hyperconjugation; n-π conjugation; π-π conjugation; aromaticity; heteroatomic compounds; DFT 1.

Summary CHEMISTRY PAPER No. 1: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY- I (Nature of Bonding and Stereochemistry) Module No. 3: Hyper-Conjugation 1. Learning Outcomes After studying this module you shall be able to: Understand the concept of hyperconjugation. Know about the structural requirements in a molecule to show hyperconjugation. Learn about the important consequences and applications of hyperconjugation. Comprehend the concept of reverse hyperconjugation. 2. Introduction In conjugation, we have studied that the electrons move from one p orbital to other which are aligned in parallel planes. Is it possible for electron to jump from p orbital to sp3 orbital that are not parallelly aligned with one another? The answer is yes. This type of conjugation is not normal, it is extra-ordinary. Hence, the name hyper-conjugation. It is also know as no-bond resonance. Let us study more about it. 3. Hyperconjugation The normal electron releasing inductive effect (+I effect) of alkyl groups is in the following order: But it was observed by Baker and Nathan that in conjugated system, the attachment of alkyl groups reverse their capability of electron releasing. They suggested that alkyl groups are capable of releasing electrons by some process other than inductive.

  • Effect of Hyperconjugation on Ionization Energies of Hydroxyalkyl Radicals
    J. Phys. Chem. A 2008, 112, 9965–9969 9965 Effect of Hyperconjugation on Ionization Energies of Hydroxyalkyl Radicals Boris Karpichev, Hanna Reisler, Anna I. Krylov, and Kadir Diri* Department of Chemistry, UniVersity of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089-0482 ReceiVed: June 14, 2008; ReVised Manuscript ReceiVed: August 01, 2008 On the basis of electronic structure calculations and molecular orbital analysis, we offer a physical explanation of the observed large decrease (0.9 eV) in ionization energies (IE) in going from hydroxymethyl to hydroxyethyl radical. The effect is attributed to hyperconjugative interactions between the σCH orbitals of the methyl group in hydroxyethyl, the singly occupied p orbital of carbon, and the lone pair p orbital of oxygen. Analyses of vertical and adiabatic IEs and hyperconjugation energies computed by the natural bond orbital (NBO) procedure reveal that the decrease is due to the destabilization of the singly occupied molecular orbital in hydroxyethyl radical as well as structural relaxation of the cation maximizing the hyperconjugative interactions. The stabilization is achieved due to the contraction of the CO and CC bonds, whereas large changes in torsional angles bear little effect on the total hyperconjugation energies and, consequently, IEs. 1.

  • Conjugated Molecules
    Conjugated Molecules - Conjugated molecules have alternating single and multiple (i.e. double or triple) bonds. Example 1: Nomenclature: 2,6-dimethylhepta-2,5-diene This molecule is not conjugated because it does not have alternating single and multiple bonds (the arrangement of the bonds starting from C2 is double, single, single and double). Between the two double bonds, there is a saturated center (C4) and two intersecting single bonds. Example 2: Nomenclature: 2,5-dimethylhexa-2,4-diene This molecule is conjugated because the arrangement of the bonds starting at C2 is double, single, and double. They are alternated. Example 3: Nomenclature: (2E)-hept-2-en-5-yne note: (2E) is a stereochemical identifier. The letter “E” indicates the arrangement of the double bond (where E usually refers to trans and Z refers to cis). The number “2” indicates the position of the double bond. This molecule is not conjugated because the single and multiple bonds are not alternated. Example 4: Nomenclature: (2Z)-hex-2-en-4-yne This molecule is conjugated because there is an alternation of multiple and single bonds (double, single, and triple starting from C2). More examples: note: the term conjugation refers to parts of the molecule. If you can find one conjugated system within the molecule, that molecule is said to be conjugated. Example: In this molecule, the double bond A is not conjugated. However, since double bond B is conjugated with double bond C, the molecule is said to be conjugated. Special Nomenclature: The Letter "S" stands for “single” and indicates that we are talking about the conjugated double bonds.

  • Orbital Interactions in Metal Dimer Complexes
    4884 Orbital Interactions in Metal Dimer Complexes P. Jeffrey Hay, Jack C. Thibeault, and Roald Hoffmann* Contribution from the Department of Chemistry and Materials Science Center, Cornell University, Ithaca. New York 14853. Received January 9, 1975 Abstract: A molecular orbital analysis shows that the antiferromagnetic contributions to magnetic coupling, favoring a low- spin ground state for a dimer containing two weakly interacting metal centers, can be analyzed in terms of pairwise interac- tions of dimeric molecular orbitals, with the square of the splitting in energy between the members of a pair being a measure of the stabilization of the low-spin state. The effect of geometrical distortions, electronegativity, and variation of substituents on the magnetic interaction in dimeric systems is examined in detail for singly bridged L,M-X-ML, (n = 3,4, 5); Cu~C16~- and other doubly bridged species where the bridging ligands are halogens, OR, pyridine N-oxides, oxalate, squarate; and the acetate bridged dimers Cu~(RC00)4.The emphasis is on d9 Cu(I1) dimers, but other transition metal systems are also ana- lyzed. Transition metal complexes containing more than one mentslv'O,'iwhich seek to extend such analyses to the cases metal atom with unpaired electrons can generally be cate- involving molecular, rather than atomic bridging species, gorized according to their magnetic behavior into three with special interest in molecular dimers. Within this latter main groups depending on the strength of the metal-metal context this paper will attempt to provide a broader theoret- interaction. In the noninteracting type the magnetic proper- ical framework for the analysis of superexchange interac- ties of the dimer (or polymer) are essentially unchanged tions.

Creating planar or “locking” structures is of particular interest for tuning electronic properties. While noncovalent locks are an effective strategy for increasing planarity, the precise interactions leading to these planar structures are often unknown or mischaracterized. In this study, we demonstrate that aromaticity can be used to investigate, interpret, and modify the complex physical interactions which lead to planarity. Furthermore, we clearly illustrate the important role aromaticity has in determining the structure through torsional preferences and find that modern noncovalent locks utilize hyperconjugation to alter aromaticity and increase planarity. We envision that our approach and our explanation of prevalent noncovalent locks will assist in the design of improved materials for organic electronics. ■ INTRODUCTION Aromaticity is a common chemical descriptor that can be Organic semiconductors offer unique blends of physical and used to simplify some of the underlying physics and provide electronic properties along with the processability and novel insights into torsional energetics.

  • Hyperconjugative Aromaticity and Protodeauration Reactivity of Polyaurated Indoliums
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13663-8 OPEN Hyperconjugative aromaticity and protodeauration reactivity of polyaurated indoliums Kui Xiao1, Yu Zhao2, Jun Zhu 2* & Liang Zhao 1* Aromaticity generally describes a cyclic structure composed of sp2-hybridized carbon or hetero atoms with remarkable stability and unique reactivity. The doping of even one sp3-hybridized atom often damages the aromaticity due to the interrupted electron con- 1234567890():,; jugation. Here we demonstrate the occurrence of an extended hyperconjugative aromaticity (EHA) in a metalated indole ring which contains two gem-diaurated tetrahedral carbon atoms. The EHA-involved penta-aurated indolium shows extended electron conjugation because of dual hyperconjugation. Furthermore, the EHA-induced low electron density on the indolyl nitrogen atom enables a facile protodeauration reaction for the labile Au-N bond. In contrast, the degraded tetra-aurated indolium with a single gem-dimetalated carbon atom exhibits poor bond averaging and inertness in the protodeauration reaction. The aromaticity difference in such two polyaurated indoliums is discussed in the geometrical and electronic perspectives. This work highlights the significant effect of metalation on the aromaticity of polymetalated species. 1 Key Laboratory of Bioorganic Phosphorus Chemistry and Chemical Biology (Ministry of Education), Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University, 100084 Beijing, China. 2 State Key Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces and Collaborative Innovation Center

Why? Miquel Solà* Institut de Química Computacional i Catàlisi and Departament de Química, Universitat de Girona, Girona, Spain Keywords: aromaticity, conjugation, hyperconjugation, multidimensional character, indicators of aromaticity From time to time I have the opportunity to give lectures on topics related to aromaticity. Quite often in these occasions I get comments from the audience complaining about the fact that aromaticity is not a well-defined concept. My usual answer is that the most fruitful concepts in chemistry share the same lack of strict definition (Grunenberg, 2017). In one of these occasions, the comment was formulated by someone who give a talk the day before justifying all the results he/she obtained using the concept of hyperconjugation. His/her comment was a little bit irritating to me because, in a way, he/she was saying I am a serious scientist because I am working with rigorous concepts like hyperconjugation whereas you are a kind of pseudoscientist playing with floppy concepts like aromaticity. Was he/she right? I do not think so. Conjugation involves interactions (electron delocalization) between π-orbitals, although its definition can also be extended to p-orbitals to cover lone pair interactions with the π-system. Hyperconjugation accounts for the interaction between two orbitals with π-symmetry where one or both of them come from a saturated moiety (Mulliken, 1939; Mulliken et al., 1941).
