A close relationship between chemical shift and magnetic criteria for aromaticity arouses a deeper view for probing and modeling of induced current density in π systems through external magnetic fields. The (4n+2)π systems aromatic are studied on variants of Azabora Derivatives of [8] Annulene (BnNnC(8-2n)H8) via the localized orbital localization (LOL) and electron localized function (ELF) by considering the density functional calculation. By this work, it has been predicted a four-electron dia-tropic (aromatic) ring current for (4n+2) π variants of Bn NnC(8-2n) H8 and a two-electron para-tropic (anti-aromatic) current for (4n) π. With the HOMO and LUMO energies and also HOMO/LUMO overlapping in whole space, it is possible to predict the transition states from delocalized to-localized currents in all variant mentioned compounds in the viewpoint of aromaticity and anti-aromaticity. In addition, the nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS), HOMA, Ellipticity, Aromatic Fluctuation index (FLU), and para delocalization index (PDI) values confirm the amounts of aromaticity and anti-aromaticity in those rings.

We present a computational analysis of the asymmetry in reaction center models of photosystem I, photosystem II, and bacteria from <i>Synechococcus elongatus</i>, <i>Thermococcus vulcanus</i>, and <i>Rhodobacter sphaeroides</i>, respectively. The recently developed FDE-diab methodology [J. Chem. Phys., 148 (2018), 214104] allowed us to effectively avoid the spin-density overdelocalization error characteristic for standard Kohn–Sham Density Functional Theory and to reliably calculate spin-density distributions and electronic couplings for a number of molecular systems ranging from dimeric models in vacuum to large protein including up to about 2000 atoms. The calculated spin densities showed a good agreement with available experimental results and were used to validate reaction center models reported in the literature. We demonstrated that the applied theoretical approach is very sensitive to changes in molecular structures and relative orientation of molecules. This makes FDE-diab a valuable tool for electronic structure calculations of large photosynthetic models effectively complementing the existing experimental techniques.

The GMTKN55 benchmarking protocol introduced by [Goerigk et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2017, 19, 32184] allows comprehensive analysis and ranking of density functional approximations with diverse chemical behaviours. But this comprehensiveness comes at a cost: GMTKN55's 1500 benchmarking values require energies for around 2500 systems to be calculated, making it a costly exercise. This manuscript introduces three subsets of GMTKN55, consisting of 30, 100 and 150 systems, as `diet' substitutes for the full database. The subsets are chosen via a stochastic genetic approach, and consequently can reproduce key results of the full GMTKN55 database, including ranking of approximations.

Thioxo, Oxo and Seleno diastereomeric cyclophosphamides containing 1,3,2- dioxaphosphorinane are prepared by a one-step chemical reaction. Their structural determination is carried out by means of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR (31P, 1 H, 13C) and High-Resolution Mass Spectroscopy (HRMS). The conformational study of diastereomeric products is described. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations allowed the identification of preferred conformations. Experimental and calculated 31P, 13C, 1H NMR chemical shifts are compared. The molecular structure of the 2-Benzylamino-5-methyl-5- propyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane (3d) has been determined by means of crystal Xray diffraction methods.
