M. Ciureanu et al., ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE AND ACIDO-BASIC PROPERTIES OF SOME PHENYLTHIOCINNAMAMIDE DERIVATIVES, Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 38(3), 1993, pp. 277-285
The electronic structure of some phenylthiocinnamamides is investigate
d in the frame of the SCF-PPP-CI method. The influence of the molecule
s geometry and of the ring substituent on the calculated transitions a
nd charge distributions is outlined. A protonation equilibrium for the
dimethylamino-derivative was evidenced and the pKa was determined for
the electronic structure of both protonated and neutral molecules.
