Abstract

Density functional theory (B3LYP) calculations were performed on the Me and F substituted valence isomeric forms of 1-H-boratabenzene. The calculations revealed that the planar benzene analog is the lowest energy isomer. Its aromaticity is analyzed in the light of the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) and shows that aromaticity increases in F substituted, but decreases in Me substituted. These calculations indicate substitution of BH with BMe and BF doesn't cause significant variation in bond length.
