Aromaticity in cyanuric acid

J Mol Model. 2011 Jun;17(6):1311-5. doi: 10.1007/s00894-010-0825-2. Epub 2010 Sep 7.

Abstract

This study analyzes the aromatic nature of cyanuric acid (hexahydrotriazine) and some of its derivatives, in terms of aromatic stabilization energy (ASE) and electronic behavior. The simplest molecule (C(3)N(3)O(3)H(3)) is the most aromatic item out of the entire set, but some of the others also display aromatic character. The structure of all the rings is analyzed considering their molecular orbitals as well as studying the inductive effect.
