H. Dronia et al., MOLECULAR MODELING STUDIES ON 1-N-ARYLAMINO-1-ARYLMETHANEPHOSPHONIC ACID-DERIVATIVES .2. SIMULATED MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF N,N'-ETHYLENEDIAMINO-BIS(PHENYLMETHYLPHOSPHONIC ACID DIETHYL ESTER), Journal of molecular structure. Theochem, 334(2-3), 1995, pp. 179-185
Using molecular modelling methods like molecular mechanics, molecular
dynamics simulations and semiempirical methods (MOPAC 6.0 PM3) the con
formational aspects of N,N'-ethylenediamino-bis(phenylmethylphosphonic
acid diethyl ester) were investigated in order to find the most stabl
e conformer. The results of our computational structural analyses are
in good agreement with the conformation obtained from the X-ray crysta
l structure.
