description

Abstract We present a theoretical investigation of the modifications that successive oxidation induces on the geometric and electronic structures of the π-electron donor dithiapyranylidene. The lengthening of the double bonds and the shortening of the single bonds calculated as the molecular charge increases indicate a gain of aromaticity with oxidation. Both the geometricand the electronic structure of dithiapyranylidene show a clear evolution towards those of biphenyl as oxidation takes place.
