Five new compounds were synthesized and the detailed experimental results are reported. The crystal and molecular structures of the title compounds have been determined by IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Molecular geometries from X-ray experiment of I-V in the ground state have been compared using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) with B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) basis set. In addition, the molecular electrostatic potential maps and frontier molecular orbitals were performed at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. DFT global chemical reactivity descriptors (chemical hardness, total energy, electronic chemical potential and electrophilicity) are calculated for the title molecules and used to predict their relative stability and reactivity.
