Abstract: | Methylidencyclopropabenzene (MCPB) 1 and Fulvalenes 2–4 are molecules of special interest due to the relation between structure and aromaticity. The aim of this work was to analyze this relation and to quantify the aromaticity in 1–4 using different methods. Magnetic properties are directly related with aromaticity; here we studied the magnetic susceptibility and the anisotropy of the magnetic susceptibility. Nucleus indepedent chemical shift (NICS) and the anisotropy of the induced current density (ACID) were also employed. Tools of very different nature, geometric indexes HOMA and Bird, were determinated too for 1–4. All of these measures were found to be in agreement. Figure Both spatial NICS and ACID plot allow to show the aromaticity/antiaromaticity of a ring |
