P. Politzer et al., C-H AND C-NO2 DISSOCIATION-ENERGIES IN SOME AZINES AND NITROAZINES, The journal of physical chemistry. A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment, & general theory, 102(33), 1998, pp. 6697-6701
Structures and energies have been computed for six azines, their monon
itro derivatives, and the radicals formed by loss of a hydrogen or a n
itro group. A density functional procedure (B3P86/6-31fG*) was used.
Relative stabilities within isomeric groups are compared, and 20 C-H a
nd C-NO2 dissociation energies are presented. The results are viewed a
s demonstrating the importance of the electron-attracting powers of th
e ring nitrogens.
