Abstract
Quantum-chemical DFT calculations using the B3LYP functionals have been carried out for 1-R-substitued phospholes and some 1-R-substitued 3,4-dimethylphospholes where R = H, Me, Ph, CN, OH, OMe, F, Cl, and Br. The aromaticity of the phospholyl rings is interpreted as a function of geometric, magnetic, and energetic indexes. It is shown, in agreement with previous experimental results, that phosphole aromaticity does not correlate with pyramidality at phosphorus. Variation of hyperconjugative and to a lesser extent, conjugative effects is responsible for the change in cyclic delocalization for the phospholes studied here.
