| Popis | Density functional theory calculations of magnetically induced current densities have revealed high diatropic ring currents in unsubstituted isocorrole consistent with homoaromatic character. An examination of the Kohn-Sham molecular orbitals showed clear evidence of homoconjugative interactions in four occupied p-type molecular orbitals as well as in the LUMO. Remarkably, substituents at the saturated meso position were found to exert a dramatic influence on the overall current density pattern. Thus, whereas bis(trimethylsilyl)-substitution strongly enhanced the peripheral diatropic current (consistent with enhanced homoaromaticity), difluoro-substitution engendered a strong, net paratropic current (consistent with antihomoaromaticity). In this respect, isocorroles stand in sharp contrast to benzenoid aromatics, for which substituents typically exert a small influence on the current density distribution. |
