Electrostatic potential charges

A cubic lattice is superimposed onto the solute(s) and the surrounding solvent. Values of the electrostatic potential, charge density, dielectric constant and ionic strength are assigned to each grid point. The atomic charges do not usually coincide with a grid point and so the... 

Draw the most important resonance contributors for nitrobenzene (include all of the contributors needed to explain for the variation in electrostatic potential, charge and chemical shift relative to benzene). Do these resonance contributors account for the different behavior of 6meta and 6paia Explain.

Fig. 6.9 Atom charges and bond orders calculated using the AMI, PM3 and HF/3-21G( ) methods. In a and b the charges and bond orders are all from the Mulliken approach. In c and d the charges are all electrostatic potential charges, and the bond orders are Mulliken for AMI and PM3, and Lowdin for HF/3-21G< ) (Lowdin bond orders were not available for AMI and PM3 from the Spartan program used). Note that charges and bond orders involving hydrogens have been omitted...

The conceptual and mathematical bases of these concepts were outlined in chapter 5 (section 5.5 4). We saw that unlike, say, frequencies and dipole moments, charges and bond orders cannot even in principle be measured experimentally as physicists say, they are not observables. Thus there are no right values to calculate, and in fact no single, correct, definitions of these terms, since as with ab initio calculations, SE charges and bond orders can be defined in various ways. The concepts are nevertheless useful, and electrostatic potential charges and Lowdin bond orders are preferred nowadays to the Mulliken parameters. 

The theory behind these was given in section 5.5.4. Recall that these parameters are not observables and so there are no experimental, right values to aim for electrostatic potential charges and Lowdin bond orders are preferred to Mulliken charges and bond orders. The effect of various computational levels on atom charges has been examined [80]. 

This indicates that in SCN the order of nucleophilicity isS > N C (which is what any chemist would expect). Sulfur is the softest atom here, and carbon the hardest. The results of such a calculation vary somewhat with the method/basis (e.g. HF/6-31G, MP2/6-31G, etc.), and especially with the way the charges/electron populations are calculated. Here are the functions from the use of electrostatic potential charges (the G98 keyword Pop=MK was used) again using B3LYP/6-31 + G ... 

First, we like to discuss influences chi the computed electrostatic Qia gies, which are due to the technical prcxjedure by which the LPB equation is solved. A standard procedure to solve the LPB equation, vdiich we also use here, is to place the molecular system in the center of a finite lattice, where electrostatic potential, charges, dielectric constant and ionic strength are discretized. The size of the initially used lattice should be large enough that the electrostatic jx)tential vanishes nearly at the boundary.

Aiylation of monosubstituted triazole 121 delivers 1,5-disubstituted compound as major product, with a small amount of diaiylated triazole 123. This regioselectivity is correlated by the DPT calculaticHi of electrostatic potential charges at C-4 and C-5 of N-methyl triazole 124 (Scheme 40).
