Abstract

The equilibrium between keto and enol forms in acetylacetone and its derivatives is studied using electron delocalization indices and delocalization tensor density. We demonstrate how electron delocalization governs the equilibrium between keto and enol forms. The less stable enols have more distinct double and single bond character in the CCC fragment, while electron delocalization in this fragment is more pronounced in more stable enols. Looking for the origin of such behavior, we considered the one‐electron potentials entering the Euler equation for the electron density. We found that electron delocalization is mainly governed by the static exchange potential, which depends on the three‐dimensional atomic structure. It, however, does not distinguish differences in electron delocalization in more and less stable enols, the effect arising from the kinetic exchange contribution, which reflects spin‐dependent effects in the electron motion. The local depletion of kinetic exchange in the conjugated fragment yields the enhanced electron delocalization along the CCC bonds in more stable enols. Thus, a combination of considered descriptors allowed us to reveal the influence of electron delocalization on the equilibrium between keto and enol forms and showed the significant features of this phenomenon.
