Abstract
Substitution effects are probed for novel N-heterocyclic stannylenes (NHSns), including 1,4-di(R)-tetrazole-5-stannylenes (1R), and 1,3-di(R)-tetrazole-5-stannylenes (2R), using B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory. Nucleophilicity, multiplicity, and stability are calculated for 1R and 2R; R = H, methyl, ethyl, i-propyl, t-butyl, Ph, OH, methoxy, NO2, CN and CF3. Asymmetric 2H appears to be more nucleophilic (N ~ 4) than its corresponding symmetric 1H isomer (N ~ 3), mostly due to the higher separation of charge in the former group. The N is more sensitive to electronic effects in 1R stannylenes than those in the 2R series. Electron donating R groups increase N with Hammett ρ constants of -3.3 and -2.7 for 1R and 2R, respectively. Stannylene 2H is slightly more aromatic (NICS (1) = -10.31) than 1H (NICS (1) = -10.25). All 1R isomers are more stable than the corresponding 2R. However, all 2R structures are generally more nucleophilic and aromatic than the corresponding 1R. In addition, the former is less electrophilic with a larger band gap and narrower stannylene bond angle. Substituent effects are probed on N by devising proper isodesmic reactions. The trend for N is: 2t-buthyl > 2iso-propyl > 2ethyl > 2methyl > 2ph > 2OMeth > 1t-buthyl > 2OH > 2H > 1Ph > 1iso-propyl > 1OH > 1ethyl > 1methyl > 1OMeth > 1H > 2CF3 > 2NO2 > 2CN > 1CF3 > 1CN > 1NO2.
