Abstract
This study systematically investigates the impact of N/C substitution in β-aminoacrolein/β-thioaminoacrolein derivatives at various theoretical levels. Key electronic energy components, including electron configuration, nitrogen atom positioning, lone pair-lone pair (Lp-Lp) repulsion, and resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding (RAHB), are evaluated. Results reveal that electron configuration contributes the most stabilizing energy (∼-16 Hartree), while nitrogen positioning and Lp-Lp repulsions destabilizes structures, following the trend: N2 < N1 < N3. RAHB energies are strongly influenced by nitrogen count, with stability improving in the order: N1 (−0.0145) < N2 (−0.0273) < N3 (−0.0370) < N1N2 (−0.0418) < N1N3 (−0.0515) < N2N3 (−0.0643) < N1N2N3 (-0.0788H). Furthermore, energetic, structural, spectral, and topological descriptors support these findings. Interestingly, the aromaticity index indicates a slight reduction in π-electron delocalization (π-ED) with N/C substitution, challenging conventional RAHB theory.
