Interaction of Refractory Dibenzothiophenes and Polymerizable Structures

Figure 2

The molecular structure (bottom) and MEP mapped to the electronic density surface (isovalue = 0.02) of monomer (top). Brown spheres in the molecular structure represent carbon atoms, while white, red, and blue spheres represent hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms, respectively. Blue areas in the MEP represent regions where a proton would feel repulsion, while in red areas a proton would feel attraction. Comparison of Figures 1 and 2 provides insight into which regions between the DBT series and will be attracted.
