An extensive theoretical investigation of the electronic structure of a tested fair model dicupra[10]annulene compound, based on the analysis of atom-pair delocalization indices, Bader's molecular graph, the inspection of the canonical molecular orbitals, the z components of their Nuclear Independent Chemical Shifts, NICS(0)zz, and the normalized Giambiagi multicenter delocalization indices, concludes that the perimeter aromaticity of the dicupra[10]annulene ring is consistent with both 10 and 14 π-electron Hückel aromatic 10-membered rings. In either case, the 10-membered ring encloses two 6 π-electron aromatic inner rings, hinged at the Cu–Cu bond. This work demonstrates that the aromaticity of dicupra[10]annulenes closely resembles that of naphthalene. Hence, they are best regarded as metalla-polyacenes, which could make the building blocks of extended structures such as metalated nanotubes.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
