TY - JOUR A1 - Kleinpeter, Erich A1 - Koch, Andreas T1 - Characterization and quantification of quasi-aromaticity by spatial magnetic properties (TSNMRS) JF - Tetrahedron N2 - The spatial magnetic properties (Through Space NMR Shieldings-TSNMRS) of various types of structures with suggested quasi-aromaticity (a summaring topic: in detail push pull, captodative, chelate, supramolecular aromaticity, etc.) have been computed, are visualized as Isochemical Shielding Surfaces (ICSS) of various size/direction and examined subject to identify and quantify present (partial) aromaticity. While the TSNMRS approach proves really helpful [even in cases of (4n+2) pi-electron cyclic moieties formed via non-covalent polar interactions] quasi-aromaticity suggested for enol forms of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds via resonance-assisted intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding cannot be confirmed.
