The TSNMRS values were employed to quantify and visualize the partial aromaticity of the studied compounds. In the case of the surprisingly more stable quinoid tautomers, the aromaticity-synonymous with stability due to the conjugation of p electrons and lone pairs-was not found to be particularly reduced.}, language = {en} } @article{BaranacStojanovicKochKleinpeter2012, author = {Baranac-Stojanovic, Marija and Koch, Andreas and Kleinpeter, Erich}, title = {Density Functional Calculations of the Anisotropic Effects of Borazine and 1,3,2,4-Diazadiboretidine}, series = {ChemPhysChem : a European journal of chemical physics and physical chemistry}, volume = {13}, journal = {ChemPhysChem : a European journal of chemical physics and physical chemistry}, number = {17}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1439-4235}, doi = {10.1002/cphc.201200732}, pages = {3803 -- 3811}, year = {2012}, abstract = {On the basis of the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) concept, the anisotropic effects of two inorganic rings, namely, borazine and planar 1,3,2,4-diazadiboretidine, are quantitatively calculated and visualized as isochemical shielding surfaces (ICSSs).
