Ng611 (talk) 21:04, 17 May 2018 (BST) There should be two lines of frequency data reported -- one line for low frequencies close to and potentially less than 0 and another for 'higher' low frequencies. You've included the latter of the two above, but not the former.

BH3 Molecular Orbitals (LCAO and Gaussian)

Significant difference between Gaussview and LCAO molecular orbitals, Gaussian orbitals seemed to be in the wrong order. This shows that although Gaussian program could produce good prediction of MO shapes, however sometimes it would fail to order them correctly. This was not an isolated incidence, other people had also encountered the same issue with their programs, and each error produced different orders.

Analysis

Charge Distribution

Benzene and borazine have different charge distribution despite similarity in structure. The differences are tabulated below:

A comparison of charge distribution in benzene and borazine
Benzene Borazine
Boron n/a 0.074
Carbon -2.390 n/a
Nitrogen n/a -1.102
Hydrogen 0.235 0.432
Hydrogen n/a 0.077

Borazine atoms have four different electron densities, whereas benzene atoms only have two. This is because of the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and boron. As nitrogen is more electronegative, the hydrogen bonded to them will have lower electron density. This electronegativity causes polarization in electron density, and decrease the delocalization of p orbital electrons. The decrease in delocalization causes resonance effect in borazine to be weaker than that in benzene. This is can be reflected in their chemical data, where benzene is lower in energy comparing to borazine

MO Comparison

Ng611 (talk) 23:27, 15 May 2018 (BST) You've done well to compare similar orbitals, although I would have hoped for some more explanation about why such significant differences between the orbitals in benzene/borazine exist. Huckel's rule states that for a molecule to be aromatic it must have 4n+2 p electrons and the pz orbitals must be perpendicular to aromatic ring system. This somewhat applies to gaussian models, where electron densities can be seen above and beneath ring system. However this is not entirely true, because in molecules such as pyridine, the pz orbital is not 90 degrees to ring system and the molecule is still aromatic. Ng611 (talk) 23:27, 15 May 2018 (BST) Very true, although some additional discussion regarding more contemporary models of aromaticity and experimental results would have enhanced this discussion further. Ng611 (talk) 23:27, 15 May 2018 (BST) Overall, while there were some good aspects to this report, improvement is needed. There was a significant amount of incomplete or missing calculation data (e.g.: from your frequency analyses -- there should generally be 2 lines of vibrational mode data but I could only see one in many instances). The final discussion regarding aromaticity showed promise but required expansion.
