Huckel Analysis

The Hückel Analysis Plugin is able to calculate different structural descriptors for aromatic atoms. Localization energies L(+) and L(-) for electrophilic and nucleophilic attack at an aromatic center are calculated by the Hückel method. A smaller L(+) or L(-) value means more reactive atomic location. Order of atoms in E(+) or in Nu(-) attack are adjusted according to their localization energies. The total π energy, the π electron density and the total electron density are also calculated by Hückel method. Depending on the chemical environment, the following atoms have optimal Coulomb and resonance integral parameters: B, C, N, O, S, F, Cl, Br, I. All other atoms have a default, non-optimized parameter. Theoretical background is taken from Isaacs' book. Additional literature for the Hückel's parameters is Streitwieser's book.

Options

Type
  • HMO E(+)/Nu(-) order: numbers the aromatic atoms according to their probability of being attacked by electrophiles or nucleophiles.
  • HMO Localization energy L(+)/L(-): gives the localization energies of the aromatic center (dimension β).
  • HMO Pi energy: calculates the π energy of the aromatic ring(s) (dimension β).
  • HMO Electron density: calculates the π electron density.
  • HMO Charge density: calculates total charge density on the ring atoms.
  • Localization energy L(+)/L(-): the same as the HMO Localization energy L(+)/L(-), but based on experimental (reaction) data.
  • Electron density: the same as the HMO Electron density, but based on experimental (reaction) data.
  • Charge density: the same as the HMO Charge Density, but based on experimental (reaction) data.
Subtype
E(+) or Nu(-): for E(+)/Nu(-) order and localization energy L(+)/L(-), the electrophilicity and nucleophilicity approaches can be selected (at least one of them). Results for E(+) are coloured red, and Nu(-) blue.
