DFT Treatment of ANTA and Some of its Tautomers
Abstract
An insensitive explosive material, ANTA, and some of its prototropic tautomers have been considered within the constraints of density functional theory at the levels of B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP/cc-PVTZ (partly). Various energetic, quantum chemical and spectral properties have been obtained and discussed. The NICS(0) values have been obtained and contemplated on them.
