Two-electron multicenter (2e/mc) bonding of phenalenyl (PHYL) pi-dimers was found to be significantly affected by the electron density on the bonding active sites. The computational analysis shows that, upon appropriate beta-substitutions, the newly introduced dimers have the shortest and strongest covalent bonding interactions seen in any neutral pi-dimer. The unusual strengthening of the bonding was attributed to the reduced lone pair bond weakening effect, LPBWE, upon substitutions with electron-withdrawing groups.
二电子多中心(2e/mc)键合的菲咯啉(PHYL)π-二聚体的电子密度对键合活性位点有显著影响。计算分析表明,经过适当的β取代,新引入的二聚体具有任何中性π-二聚体中最短和最强的共价键相互作用。这种键合的异常增强归因于取代基为吸电子基团时,孤对键弱化效应(LPBWE)的降低。
