  • Aromaticity Sem- Ii
    AROMATICITY SEM- II In 1931, German chemist and physicist Sir Erich Hückel proposed a theory to help determine if a planar ring molecule would have aromatic properties .This is a very popular and useful rule to identify aromaticity in monocyclic conjugated compound. According to which a planar monocyclic conjugated system having ( 4n +2) delocalised (where, n = 0, 1, 2, .....) electrons are known as aromatic compound . For example: Benzene, Naphthalene, Furan, Pyrrole etc. Criteria for Aromaticity 1) The molecule is cyclic (a ring of atoms) 2) The molecule is planar (all atoms in the molecule lie in the same plane) 3) The molecule is fully conjugated (p orbitals at every atom in the ring) 4) The molecule has 4n+2 π electrons (n=0 or any positive integer Why 4n+2π Electrons? According to Hückel's Molecular Orbital Theory, a compound is particularly stable if all of its bonding molecular orbitals are filled with paired electrons. - This is true of aromatic compounds, meaning they are quite stable. - With aromatic compounds, 2 electrons fill the lowest energy molecular orbital, and 4 electrons fill each subsequent energy level (the number of subsequent energy levels is denoted by n), leaving all bonding orbitals filled and no anti-bonding orbitals occupied. This gives a total of 4n+2π electrons. - As for example: Benzene has 6π electrons. Its first 2π electrons fill the lowest energy orbital, and it has 4π electrons remaining. These 4 fill in the orbitals of the succeeding energy level. The criteria for Antiaromaticity are as follows: 1) The molecule must be cyclic and completely conjugated 2) The molecule must be planar.

  • Aromaticity and Other Conjugation Effects
    Rolf Gleiter, Gebhard Haberhauer Aromaticity and Other Conjugation Effects With a Foreword by Roald Hoffmann VII j Foreword I still remember the day when I first looked at the large accordion-folded sheets that a noisy dot-matrix spewed forth, sheets that contained the output of an extended Huckel€ calculation on pyridazine, pyrimidine, and pyrazine. The wave functions emerged as a 28 28 matrix, Â running across several pages; one had to scan down a long column to assign symmetries to the levels and see where in the molecules the largest coefficients were. In the MOs of these diazines I was naturally looking for two lone pairs more or less localized at N. Every chemist expected to see them; I was a chemist. I already knew from a pyridine calculation that the lone pairs werent as localized as I thought they would be. In the diazine series I expected to see the lone pairs split by a lot in energy in pyridazine, due to lone-pair–lone-pair overlap, less so in pyrimidine, still less in pyrazine. No different from anyone else, I was thinking the problem through in a through-space direct overlap way. Pyridazine followed expectations. Pyrimidine was a bit of a surprise – the gap between the lone pairs was larger than I expected. But the real shock was pyrazine – the 1,4-diazine – the gap between the two mainly-N-localized orbitals was not tiny, but a few eV. And the wrong combination, the antisymmetric one, was lower in energy! Wrong because from the perspective of through-space interactions I expected the symmetric combination lower – not that I would have expected any significant interaction between two orbitals 2.8 A apart, and pointing away from each other.

However, most work on hyperconjugative aromaticity has been limited to main-group substituents. Here, we report a thorough density functional theory study to evaluate the aromaticity in various cyclopentadienes that contain both main-group and transition-metal substituents. Our calcula- tions reveal that the strongest aromatic cyclopentadiene ring can be achieved by the synergy of trans influence and hyperconjugation caused by transition-metal substituents. Our findings highlight the great power of transition metals and trans influence in achieving hyperconjugative aromaticity, opening an avenue to the design of other novel aromatic organometallics. ■ INTRODUCTION nonatetraene derivatives.27 Ottosson and co-workers reported Aromaticity, one of the most important concepts in chemistry, that the variation in
