Abstract:In the present work, we have calculated several density functional theory (DFT) reactivity descriptors for the aminopolycarboxylate (APC) acids at the B3LYP/ 6311++G (d,p) levels of theory, aiming to analyze their reactivity. Reactivity descriptors such as ionization energy, molecular hardness, electrophilicity, and condensed Fukui function local indices have been determined to predict the reactivity of APCs. The influence of the solvent was taken into account by employing the CPCM model. The results indicate … Show more
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.
