Tri and tetraazaanthracene derivatives have been considered theoretically to obtain information about their stabilities and aromaticities. The expected decrease of aromaticity of parent anthracene by tri or tetraaza substitution has been compensated by substitution of one of the hydrogens of the system by an electronegative group. The position of the substituent has been proved to be strongly effective on the aromaticity of the structure such that, the aromaticity is enhanced when the susbtituent is closer to the aza points.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
