POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC COMPOUNDS, vol.29, no.5, pp.315-332, 2009 (SCI-Expanded)
A quantum chemical study, based on DFT theory is presented which considers certain selenium-containing naphthalene derivatives, including a keto group together with a Se atom embedded in either a five- or six-membered ring fused with naphthalene moiety. The corresponding enol structures also are considered. The quantum chemical and IR data collected are analyzed and NICS(0) values have been obtained.
