Azines physico-chemical properties

Theoretical Studies of Physico-chemical Properties and Reactivity of Azines... 

The present article is an attempt to review those studies of pyridinelike heterocycles (mono-azines) and, to a lesser extent, their analogues and derivatives that have interpreted the behavior and estimated various physico-chemical properties of the compounds by the use of data calculated by the simplest version of the MO LCAO (molecular orbital, linear combination of atomic orbitals) method (both molecular orbital energies and expansion coefficients). In this review, attention is focused upon the use of the simple method because it has been applied to quite extensive sets of compounds and to the calculation of the most diverse properties. On the other hand, many fewer compounds and physico-chemical properties have been investigated by the more sophisticated methods. Such studies are referred to without being discussed in detail. In a couple of years, we believe, the extent of the applications of such methods will also be wide enough to warrant a detailed review.
