Abstract :
Using quantum chemical methodology, we reinvestigate the aromaticity of the much debated arsole,using the newly developed gauge-including magnetically induced currents (GIMIC) method. GIMIC provides aquantitative measure of the induced ring current strength, showing arsole to be moderately aromatic.Comparison is made with pyrrole, phosphole, and cyclopentadiene.
