The influence of heteroatoms on the aromatic character and the current pathways of B2N2-dibenzo[a,e]pentalenes
Literature Information

Four polycyclic molecules have been investigated at the DFT B3LYP/def2-TZVP level of theory using calculated magnetically induced current densities as an indicator of their (anti)aromaticity. Complicated current pathways were found in dibenzo[a,e]pentalene and its three heterocyclic analogues each containing two boron and two nitrogen atoms. The antiaromatic character of the pentalene moiety is weaker in the hydrocarbon molecule and in 5,11-dihydrobenzo[d]benzo[4,5][1,2,3]azadiborolo[3,2-b][1,2,3]azadiborole as compared to the pentalene molecule. The antiaromatic character of the pentalene moiety is completely absent in the other two heterocyclic structures. In 6,12-dihydrobenzo[d]benzo[4,5][1,2,3]diazaborolo[2,1-a][1,2,3]diazaborole all four molecular rings are aromatic according to the ring-current criterion, and in 6,12-dihydrobenzo[d]benzo[3,4][1,2,5]azadiborolo[1,2-a][1,3,2]diazaborole, the diazaborole ring is aromatic, while the azadiborole ring is antiaromatic. In all four molecules the six-membered rings are aromatic sustaining a weaker ring current than benzene does.

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.
