Organic molecules are known for their stability due to aromaticity. Superhalogens, on the other hand, are highly reactive anions, whose electron affinity is larger than that of chlorine. This thesis, using first principles calculations, explores possible methods for creation of superhalogen aromatic molecules while attempting to also develop a fundamental understanding of the physical properties behind their creation. The first method studied uses anionic cyclopentadienyl and enhances its electron affinity through ligand substitution or ring annulation in combination with core substitutions. The second method studies the possibilities of using benzene, which has a negative electron affinity (EA), as a core to attain similar results. These cases resulted in EAs of 5.59 eV and 5.87 eV respectively, showing that aromaticity rule can be used to create strong anionic organic molecules. These studies will hopefully lead to new advances in the development of organic based technology.

Neste trabalho foram desenvolvidos alguns estudos que tiveram como objetivo principal a utilização de reações de cicloadição como a Reação de Diels–Alder e a Cicloadição do tipo [6+4] na síntese de anulenos e baquenolidas. Na primeira parte (Parte A) são apresentadas algumas abordagens com o objetivo de produzir sistemas do tipo biciclo[6.2.1]undecano (42), similares a sistemas existentes em produtos naturais e que são precursores diretos do 1,4–metano[10]anuleno (41), uma estrutura hipotética, cuja síntese ainda não foi descrita. Os melhores resultados foram obtidos através de uma cicloadição [6+4] entre o ciclopentadieno 43 e a tropona 139 o que forneceu 140. Este produto guarda grande semelhança estrutural com o anuleno 41. Para efetuar o rompimento da ponte carbonílica, o melhor método que encontramos consistiu em transformar a cetona 140 em oxima, depois em lactama através de um rearranjo de Beckmann, transformação na forma tosilada e redução com LiAlH4. O álcool primário de 171 pôde ser eliminado com relativa facilidade, mas o grupo NHTs mostrou–se extremamente resistente à alquilação exaustiva/eliminação; apenas quando utilizamos sal de oxônio tivemos evidências de formação de carbocátion. No entanto, os resultados experimentais indicaram fortemente que o anuleno 41 não deve possuir estabilização aromática, pois não encontramos nada deste material no produto da eliminação que, além de Me2NTs, continha apenas polímeros. Alguns cálculos teóricos levaram também à conclusão de que 41 não deve ser aromático. Na segunda parte deste trabalho (Parte B) foram realizados alguns estudos sobre a síntese do produto natural (±)–baquenolida A (184). A etapa principal da síntese realizada foi uma reação de Diels–Alder entre o dieno 298 e o dienófilo 299 sob catálise de NbCl5. O aduto obtido (300) encontra–se devidamente funcionalizado e com a estereoquímica relativa apropriada para a síntese de vários produtos naturais da classe dos eremofilanos e dos bacanos, incluindo as baquenolidas. A síntese do produto natural 184 foi concluída em 8 etapas e com rendimento global de 13,3%. Finalmente foram realizados alguns estudos teóricos dos estados de transição envolvidos nas ciclizações dos enolatos dos compostos 286 e 305 obtendo–se proporções teóricas entre os epímeros 287/288 e 306/307 razoavelmente de acordo com os resultados experimentais. / In this work are described some studies of cycloaddition reactions, such as [4+2] (Diels–Alder reaction) and [6+4] cycloadditions, for the purpose of synthesizing annulenes and bakkenolides. In the first part (Part A) are presented some approaches for the synthesis of the bicyclo[6.2.1]undecane system (42), which is not only similar to systems that occur in some natural products, but also can be considered as a direct precursor of 1,4–metano[10]annulene (41) (a hypothetical structure, which has not yet been synthesized). The best results were obtained through the [6+4] cycloaddition between cyclopentadiene (43) and tropone (139), which furnished 140. This product is already very similar to the annulene 41. To perform the rupture of the carbonyl bridge, the best method that we found consists in transforming the ketone 140 in to the oxime, which was converted to the lactam 142 through a Beckmann rearrangement. This compound was tosilated and subsequently reduced with LiAlH4. The primary alcohol of 171 was easily eliminated but the NHTs group did not react under exhaustive alkylation/elimination conditions; we have obtained evidence of carbocation formation only when the alkylation was performed with oxonium salt. However, the experimental results could indicated that the hypothetical annulene 41 is not aromatic, because we not find this material in the elimination product, which contained only Me2NTs and polymers. Some theoretical calculations also confirmed that 41 should not be aromatic. In the second part of this work (Part B) are described some studies about the synthesis of the natural product (±)–bakkenolide A (184). The main step of the synthesis was a Diels–Alder reaction between diene 298 and dienophyle 299 under catalysis by NbCl5. The obtained adduct (300) is suitably functionalized and exhibit the appropriate relative stereochemistry for the synthesis of some natural products belonging to the class of eremophilanes and bakkanes, including the bakkenolides. The synthesis of 184 was realized in 8 steps, with a global yield of 13.3%. Finally, some theoretical studies, involving the transition states in cyclizations of the enolates of compounds 286 and 305, were carried out. These studies furnished the theoretical ratios between the epimers 287/288 and 306/307 in good agreement with the experimental results.

This work consists on new applications of the aromaticity index developed by teacher Caio Lima Firme, so-called D3BIA (density, delocalization, degeneracy-based index of aromaticity). It was investigated its correlation with other well-known aromaticity indexes, such as HOMA (harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity), NICS (nucleus independent chemical shielding), PDI (para-delocalization index), magnetic susceptibility (?), and energetic factor in the study of aromaticity of acenes and homoaromatic species based on bisnoradamantanyl cage. The density functional theory (DFT) was used for optimization calculations and for obtaining energetic factors associated with aromaticity and indexes HOMA and NICS. From quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) it was obtained the indexes D3BIA, PDI and ?. For acenes, when the over-mentioned indexes were applied it was observed no correlation except for D3BIA and HOMA (R2=0.752). For bisnoradamantenyl dication and its derivatives, it was obtained a good correlation between D3BIA and NICS. Moreover, it was evaluated solely one of the factors used on D3BIA calculation, the delocalization index uniformity (DIU), so as to investigate its possible influence on stability of chemical species. Then, the DIU was compared with the formation Gibbs free energy of some pairs of carbocations, isomers or not, which each pair had small difference in point group symmetry and no difference among other well-known stability factors. The obtained results indicate that DIU is a new stability factor related to carbocations, that is, the more uniform the electron density delocalization, the more stable the is carbocation. The results of this work validate D3BIA and show its importance on the concept of aromaticity, indicating that it can be understood from degeneracy of atoms belonging the aromatic site, the electronic density in the aromatic site and the degree of uniformity of electron delocalization / O estudo de mol?culas arom?ticas a partir de ?ndices de aromaticidade ? comum na literatura. Esta disserta??o consiste em novas aplica??es do ?ndice de aromaticidade desenvolvido pelo professor Caio Lima Firme, chamado D3BIA (?ndice de aromaticidade baseado na densidade, deslocaliza??o e degeneresc?ncia). Foi investigada uma poss?vel correla??o com outros ?ndices de aromaticidade conhecidos, como modelo de oscilador harm?nico para aromaticidade (HOMA), deslocamento qu?mico independente do n?cleo (NICS), ?ndice de para-deslocaliza??o (PDI), susceptibilidade magn?tica (?), e fator energ?tico no estudo da aromaticidade dos acenos e de esp?cies homoarom?ticas baseado na gaiola bisnoradamantenila, com o objetivo de validar o D3BIA. Foi utilizado a teoria do funcional da densidade (DFT) para os c?lculos de otimiza??o da geometria e obten??o dos fatores energ?ticos associados ? aromaticidade e dos ?ndices HOMA e NICS. A partir da teoria qu?ntica de ?tomos em mol?culas (QTAIM) foram obtidos os ?ndices D3BIA, PDI e ?. Para os acenos, quando aplicados os referidos ?ndices de aromaticidade, foi observado que a melhor correla??o linear (R2=0,752) ocorreu entre os resultados do D3BIA e do HOMA. No caso do dic?tion bisnoradamantenila e seus derivados, foi obtida uma boa correla??o entre D3BIA e NICS. Al?m disso, foi avaliado isoladamente um dos fatores usados no c?lculo do D3BIA, o grau de uniformidade da deslocaliza??o eletr?nica (DIU) de modo a investigar sua poss?vel influ?ncia na estabilidade de esp?cies qu?micas. Para isso, o DIU foi comparado com a energia de Gibbs de forma??o (?Gf) de alguns pares de carboc?tions, is?meros ou n?o, que apresentavam pequena diferen?a de simetria pontual e nenhuma diferen?a entre os fatores de estabilidade at? ent?o conhecidos. Com os resultados obtidos, pudemos comprovar que o DIU ? um novo fator de estabilidade associado aos carboc?tions, ou seja, quanto mais uniforme a deslocaliza??o da densidade eletr?nica, maior ? a estabilidade do carboc?tion. Os resultados dessa disserta??o validam o ?ndice D3BIA e mostram sua import?ncia no conceito da aromaticidade, indicando que a aromaticidade pode ser entendida a partir da degeneresc?ncia dos ?tomos do s?tio arom?tico, da densidade eletr?nica no s?tio arom?tico e do grau de uniformidade da deslocaliza??o eletr?nica

A la suite de nombreuses illustrations et validations au niveau fondamental, la chimie de molécules carbo-mères s'est récemment orientée vers des cibles fonctionnelles en termes de perspectives d'applications (" carbo-matériaux " moléculaires). C'est ainsi que de telles molécules expansées en carbone ont récemment montré des propriétés remarquables dans les domaines de la conductivité sur molécule unique (SMC) ou de l'absorption à deux photons (TPA). La considération de cibles de types fondamentalement nouveaux " reste cependant nécessaire en préliminaire à l'étude de propriétés nouvelles aussi. Le travail décrit dans ce manuscrit présente essentiellement les résultats concernant la synthèse de carbo-quinoïdes et de carbo-benzénoïdes, deux types de structures carbo-mères qui n'avaient jamais été envisagées expérimentalement auparavant. Le premier chapitre est un résumé bibliographique décrivant notamment la synthèse et les propriétés de molécules carbo-mères aromatiques, et plus généralement hautement pi-conjuguées (carbo-benzènes, carbo-cyclohexadiènes, carbo-oligoacétylènes...) Le second chapitre porte sur l'étude complète des trois régioisomères, " ortho ", " para ", et " meta " du tétraphényl-carbo-benzène, dont les deux premiers représentants avaient été partiellement décrits. Le troisième chapitre décrit la synthèse et l'étude du premier exemple de carbo-quinoïde, ainsi que sa transformation rédox réversible en carbo-benzènes, illustrant ainsi la " pro-aromaticité redox " des carbo-quinoïdes vis-à-vis de leurs analogues oxydés carbo-benzènes. Le quatrième et dernier chapitre est consacré à la synthèse et l'étude d'un carbo-benzénoïde, le carbo-naphtalène, pouvant être considéré comme le plus petit fragment polycyclique condensé d'alpha-graphyne, un matériau largement étudié au niveau théorique mais encore inconnu expérimentalement à ce jour. Les propriétés physico-chimiques et spectroscopiques de carbo-naphtalène sont comparées à celle du carbo-benzène monocyclique correspondant, dont la synthèse est aussi détaillée. / Following numerous illustrations and validations at the fundamental level, the chemistry of carbo-meric molecules was recently directed towards functional targets in terms of application prospects (molecular "carbo-materials'). Such carbon-expanded molecules have indeed recently been shown to exhibit remarkable properties in the areas of single molecule conductivity (SMC) or two-photon absorption efficiency (TPA). The consideration of target of fundamentally "new types" remains necessary in view of the study of new properties as well. The work described in this manuscript focus mainly on results concerning the synthesis of carbo-quinoids and carbo-benzenoids, two types of carbo-meric structures that had not been considered hitherto. The first chapter is a bibliographic summary describing the synthesis and properties of carbo-meric molecules, either aromatic or, more generally, highly pi-conjugated (carbo-benzenes, carbo-cyclohexadienes, carbo-oligoacetylenes...) The second chapter focuses on the complete study of the three regioisomers, "ortho", "para" and "meta" of tetraphenyl-carbo-benzene, the first two representatives having been partly described previously. The third chapter describes the synthesis and study of the first example of carbo-quinoid and its reversible redox transformation to carbo-benzenes, illustrating the "redox pro-aromaticity" of carbo-quinoid with respect to their oxidized carbo-benzenic analogues. The fourth and final chapter is devoted to the synthesis and study of a carbo-benzenoid, carbo-naphthalene, which can be regarded as the smallest condensed polycyclic fragment of alpha-graphyne, a material widely studied at the theoretical level but remaining unknown experimentally to date. The physicochemical and spectroscopic properties of carbo-naphthalene are compared to that of the corresponding monocyclic carbo-benzene, the synthesis of which is also detailed.

Interactions between electrons determine the structure and properties of matter from molecules to solids. Therefore, the understanding of the electronic structure of molecules will enable us to extract relevant chemical information. In the first part of this thesis, we focus our attention on the analysis of chemical bonding by means of the Electron Localization Function (ELF) and the Domain-Averaged Fermi Hole analysis (DAFH). In the second part, we assess the performance of some indicators of aromaticity by analyzing their advantages and drawbacks. We propose a series of tests based on well-known aromaticity trends that can be applied to evaluate the aromaticity of current and future indicators of aromaticity in both organic and inorganic species. Moreover, we investigate the nature of electron delocalization in both aromatic and antiaromatic systems in the light of Hückel’s (4n + 2) rule. Finally, we analyze the phenomenon of multiple aromaticity in all-metal clusters. / Les interaccions entre electrons determinen l’estructura i propietats de la matèria. Per tant, la comprensió de l’estructura electrònica de les molècules ens permetrà extreure informació química rellevant. En la primera part d’aquesta tesi, centrem la nostra atenció en l’anàlisi de l’enllaç químic per mitjà de la funció de localització electrònica (ELF) i l’anàlisi dels anomenats domain averaged Fermi holes (DAFH). En la segona part, s’avalua el comportament d’alguns indicadors d’aromaticitat analitzant els seus avantatges i inconvenients. Al llarg d’aquesta part, es proposen una sèrie de tests basats en tendències d’aromaticitat conegudes que es poden aplicar per avaluar el comportament dels indicadors actuals en espècies tan orgàniques com inorgàniques. A més a més, s’investiga la naturalesa de la deslocalització d’electrons en sistemes aromàtics i antiaromàtics que segueixen la regla 4n+2 que proposà Hückel. Finalment, analitzem el fenomen de l’aromaticitat múltiple en sistemes metàl•lics

Although the chemistry of benzenoid and nonbenzenoid quinones have been the subject of extensive theoretical and experimental studies, the extent of our present understanding regarding the geometries and stabilities of quinones of pentalene is meager. After studying the existence of cyclopentadienone and its reactivity as a diene and dienophile in the literature, the study of some related species, particularly the ones with fully unsaturated pentalenic structures were started. In this thesis, the elusive compound bicyclo[3.3.0]octa-3,5,8-triene-2,7-dione was tried to synthesize by using the synthetic strategy which was developed by us. We used cycloheptatriene as the starting material. The bicyclic endoperoxiedes mixture obtained by the photooxygenation of cycloheptatriene was v treated with triethylamine to give tropone in high yield. Selective reduction of tropone afforded cyclohepta-3,5-dione which was converted by the way of photochemistry to the bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-6-en-3-one. After protection of the carbonyl group, dibromocarbene was added to the double bond to give desired bicyclic compound with pentalene skeleton. Substitution of the allylic bromide with hydroxyl group followed by PCC oxidation resulted in the formation of a diketone. All efforts to convert this diketone into fully conjugated system failed.

We found that, in general, the cyclic isomer is energetically more stable than its open linear counterpart. Based on principles of minimum energy and electrophilicity, and maximum hardness, diffusion Monte Carlo indicates that B− 3 cluster is aromatic, however, the results are not conclusive with respect to the B− 4 cluster. Calculations were also performed within the Hartree–Fock approximation. From the obtained results, we analysed the impact of the electron correlation effects in these clusters and found that the correlation of the electrons contributes significantly to the ionization potential and electron affinities varying between 31% and 66% of their total values. / Neste trabalho combinamos a teoria do funcional da densidade com o método de Monte Carlo quântico para estudar o efeito da correlação eletrônica na estabilidade e na aromaticidade de clusters de boro aniônicos (B− 3 e B− 4 ). Verificamos que, em geral, o isômero cíclico é energeticamente mais estável que sua respectiva estrutura linear. Com base no princípio da mínima energia e eletrofilicidade, e máxima dureza, o método Monte Carlo por difusão indicou que o cluster B− 3 é aromático, porém, os resultados para o cluster B− 4 ainda não são conclusivos. Realizamos também cálculos com a aproximação de Hartree-Fock. Dos resultados obtidos, analisamos o impacto do efeito da correlação nesses clusters e verificamos que a correlação dos elétrons contribuem significativamente para o potencial
