The group effect on ionization potential for mono-substituted aliphatic compounds RX was investigated, and it was found that there is a good relationship between the ionization potential (IP) and the parameters, group electronegativity χ eq,X , the group polarizability ∑PEI X , and the disperse contribution of single non-bond electron E dc for titled compounds, and these parameters earlier were easily calculated from the molecular structure. Moreover, the B3LYP density functional method was also employed to estimate IP values of the same mono-substituted aliphatic compounds. The results showed that it was difficult to get reliable ionization data using DFT method, and the regression equation with descriptors χ eq,X , ∑PEI X , and E dc was more effective than DFT method in predicting IP values for titled compounds. The results are helpful to understand the role of group effect on molecular properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
