Abstract
The annellation theory method has been used to predict the locations of maximum absorbance (LMA) of the ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectral bands in the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) C24H14 (dibenzo and naphtho) derivatives of fluoranthene (DBNFl). In this group of 21 PAHs, ten PAHs present a sextet migration pattern with four or more benzenoid rings that is potentially related to a high molecular reactivity and high mutagenic conduct. This is the first time that the locations of maximum absorbance in the UV-Vis spectra of naphth[1,2- a]aceanthrylene, dibenz[ a,l]aceanthrylene, indeno[1,2,3- de]naphthacene, naphtho[1,2- j]fluoranthene, naphth[2,1- e]acephenanthrylene, naphth[2,1- a]aceanthrylene, dibenz[ a,j]aceanthrylene, naphth[1,2- e]acephenanthrylene, and naphtho[2,1- j]fluoranthene have been predicted. Also, this represents the first report about the application of the annellation theory for the calculation of the locations of maximum absorbance in the UV-Vis spectra of PAHs with five-membered rings. Furthermore, this study constitutes the premier investigation beyond the pure benzenoid classical approach toward the establishment of a generalized annellation theory that will encompass not only homocyclic benzenoid and non-benzenoid PAHs, but also heterocyclic compounds.
