Abstract
The present study investigates the effect of the substitution of salicylaldehyde hydrazones at two selected positions, i.e., the para-position with regard to the proton-donating and proton-accepting centers forming the hydrogen bridge. A detailed analysis of structural data obtained by theoretical approaches and X-ray experiments, together with original resonance Hammett's constants, indicates that the strength of the intramolecular hydrogen bonding present in salicylaldehyde hydrazones can be selectively modulated by substitution of the parent molecular system with the chemical group of known π-electron-donating or -accepting properties. Our findings provide an insight into planning synthesis pathways for salicylaldehyde hydrazone species and predicting their result with regard to their H-bonding and related physical and chemical properties.

Abstract
We investigated benzoic acid oxidation via the reaction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitrite (NO2-). The oxidation of benzoic acid by reactive nitrous acid (HONO) was negligible, and the reactivity of the H2O2/NO2- system decreased with a decrease in temperature under aqueous conditions. However, freezing markedly accelerated the chemical reaction. Based on Raman microscope measurements, concentrated species were confirmed in certain regions of the ice. We proposed that the change in nitrite speciation (accordingly, a decrease in the pH below pKa), derived from the freezing concentration effect, was the reason for the accelerated reactions. The oxidation characteristics of the system were monitored under varying conditions, such as initial pH, dosage ratio, benzoic acid concentration, and reaction with various benzene derivatives. The ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (UHPLC/ESI/MS) measurement showed that peroxynitrous acid (HOONO)-mediated oxidation generated hydroxylated and nitrated byproducts. Additionally, decarboxylated products were detected, indicating direct electron transfer from the organic compounds to HOONO. As freezing is a global phenomenon, and H2O2 and NO2- are ubiquitous in the environment, the transformation of aromatic compounds with H2O2/NO2- in cold environments must be considered in environmental chemistry.

Singlet/Triplet State Anti/Aromaticity of CyclopentadienylCation: Sensitivity to Substituent Effect. CHEMISTRY 2021.

Abstract
It is well known that singlet state aromaticity is quite insensitive to substituent effects, in the case of monosubstitution. In this work, we use density functional theory (DFT) calculations to examine the sensitivity of triplet state aromaticity to substituent effects. For this purpose, we chose the singlet state antiaromatic cyclopentadienyl cation, antiaromaticity of which reverses to triplet state aromaticity, conforming to Baird’s rule. The extent of (anti)aromaticity was evaluated by using structural (HOMA), magnetic (NICS), energetic (ISE), and electronic (EDDBp) criteria. We find that the extent of triplet state aromaticity of monosubstituted cyclopentadienyl cations is weaker than the singlet state aromaticity of benzene and is, thus, slightly more sensitive to substituent effects. As an addition to the existing literature data, we also discuss substituent effects on singlet state antiaromaticity of cyclopentadienyl cation.

Abstract
In this work, we report a systematic search of metastable C6Hn2+ (n = 1-6) dications from electron impact time-of-flight measurements of several benzene derivatives in combination with global minimum search based on the genetic algorithm. Our theoretical calculations reveal that the C6Hn2+ (n < 6) global minimum structures are completely different from that of the benzene dication, featuring linear carbon chains and/or cyclopropenylium moieties. Experimentally, the doubly charged species were investigated for a wide range of electron impact energies, from 20 to 2000 eV, for benzene and several monosubstituted compounds containing either electron-withdrawing or -donating groups. Furthermore, the C6Hn2+ production, evaluated from the yields of the dications with respect to that of the parent ion (or parent dication), was compared to those obtained from charge exchange in the doubly charged 2E spectra and electron impact experiments available in the literature. The yields of the long-lived benzene dications were contrasted to those analogues formed in chlorobenzene. Moreover, the formation of C6Hn2+ species is strongly dependent on the nature of substituent groups, with electron-withdrawing ones favoring the dication formation.

Abstract
AbstractNumerous studies on nitro group properties are associated with its high electron-withdrawing ability, by means of both resonance and inductive effect. The substituent effect of the nitro group may be well described using either traditional substituent constants or characteristics based on quantum chemistry, i.e., cSAR, SESE, and pEDA/sEDA models. Interestingly, the cSAR descriptor allows to describe the electron-attracting properties of the nitro group regardless of the position and the type of system. Analysis of classical and reverse substituent effects of the nitro group in various systems indicates strong pi-electron interactions with electron-donating substituents due to the resonance effect. This significantly affects the pi-electron delocalization of the aromatic ring decreasing the aromatic character, evidenced clearly by HOMA values. Use of the pEDA/sEDA model allows to measure the population of electrons transferred from the ring to the nitro group.

Abstract
Density functional theory calculations have been performed to explore the substituent effect on benzene's structure and aromaticity upon excitation to the first triplet excited state (T1). Discussion is based on spin density analysis, HOMA (harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity), NICS (nucleus-independent chemical shift), ACID (anisotropy of the induced current density), and monohydrogenation free energies and shows that a large span of aromatic properties, from highly antiaromatic to strongly aromatic, could be achieved by varying the substituent. This opens up a possibility of controlling benzene's physicochemical behavior in its excited state, while molecular motion, predicted for several derivatives, could be of interest for the development of photomechanical materials.

Abstract
NH2 and NO2 group effects on 13C NMR chemical shifts in substituted benzenes are explained by σ- instead of π-orbitals.
Effects of electron-donating (R = NH2) and electron-withdrawing (R = NO2) groups on 13C NMR chemical shifts in R-substituted benzene are investigated by molecular orbital analyses. The 13C shift substituent effect in ortho, meta, and para position is determined by the σ bonding orbitals in the aryl ring. The π orbitals do not explain the substituent effects in the NMR spectrum as conventionally suggested in textbooks. The familiar electron donating and withdrawing effects on the π system by NH2 and NO2 substituents induce changes in the σ orbital framework, and the 13C chemical shifts follow the trends induced in the σ orbitals. There is an implicit dependence of the σ orbital NMR shift contributions on the π framework, via unoccupied π* orbitals, due to the fact that the nuclear shielding is a response property.

Abstract
The antiaromatic character of benzene in its first ππ* excited triplet state (T1) was deduced more than four decades ago by Baird using perturbation molecular orbital (PMO) theory [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1972, 94, 4941], and since then it has been confirmed through a range of high-level quantum chemical calculations. With focus on benzene we now first review theoretical and computational studies that examine and confirm Baird's rule on reversal in the electron count for aromaticity and antiaromaticity of annulenes in their lowest triplet states as compared to Hückel's rule for the ground state (S0). We also note that the rule according to quantum chemical calculations can be extended to the lowest singlet excited state (S1) of benzene. Importantly, Baird, as well as Aihara [Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. 1978, 51, 1788], early put forth that the destabilization and excited state antiaromaticity of the benzene ring should be reflected in its photochemical reactivity, yet, today these conclusions are often overlooked. Thus, in the second part of the article we review photochemical reactions of a series of benzene derivatives that to various extents should stem from the excited state antiaromatic character of the benzene ring. We argue that benzene can be viewed as a molecular "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" with its largely unknown excited state antiaromaticity representing its "Mr Hyde" character. The recognition of the "Jekyll and Hyde" split personality feature of the benzene ring can likely be useful in a range of different areas.

Abstract
A qualitative analysis of the distortions that operate on the π system of bridging arenes with anionic character is presented and substantiated by computational studies at the density functional B3LYP and CASSCF levels. The observed effects of bonding to two metal atoms and of the negative charge are an expansion of the arene ring due to the partial occupation of π* orbitals, an elongation or compression distortion accompanied by a loss of the equivalence of carbon-carbon bonds due to a Jahn-Teller distortion of the arene dianions, and a ring puckering due to a second-order Jahn-Teller distortion that may appear independently of the existence of the first-order effect. The workings of the orbital mixing produced by these distortions have been revealed in a straightforward way by a pseudosymmetry analysis of the HOMOs of the distorted conformations. The systems studied include Li(I) and Y(III) adducts of benzene, as well as trimethylsilyl-substituted derivatives in the former case. An analysis of the structural data of a variety of purported di- and tetraanionic arene ligands coordinated to transition metals in several bridging modes has reproduced the main geometrical trends found in the computational study for the benzene and trimethylsilyl-substituted benzene dianions, allowing a classification of the variety of structural motifs found in the literature.
