Figure 3
NCI regions showing π–π contacts observed between 2-aminopyridine and HCT molecules. The irregular green surfaces indicate weak dispersive interactions (according to Johnson et al., 2010). The figure was prepared to show the dominant orientation of 2-aminopyridine. The wavefunction for the NCI index calculations was obtained using GAUSSIAN16 software (Frisch et al., 2016) at the M052X/6-311+G(2df,2p) level of theory. Cl, S, N, O, C and H atoms are drawn in sea green, yellow, blue, red, sea green and white, respectively. |
