In this paper, we theoretically studied the geometries, stabilities, electronic and thermodynamic properties of bridged bithiophene S-oxide (BTO-X) derivates (with X = BH2, SiH2, S, S=O, and O) by using semi-empirical methods, ab-initio, and Density functional theory. The geometries and thermodynamic parameters calculated by PM3 were in good agreement with that of B3LYP/6-31G(d). The bandgap calculated by B3LYP/6-31G(d) ranged from 3.94eV (BTO-O)-3.16eV (BTO-BH2). The absorption λmax calculated suing B3LYP/6-31G(d) shifted to longer wavelength with X=BH2, SiH2, and S=O due to enhancement of π-conjugated system whereas, BTO-S and BTO-O shifted to shorter wavelengths as compared to dimmer thiophene S-oxide (2TO).

We report detailed Density Functional Theory (DFT) investigations of a series of structurally similar titanium (IV) chelating σ-aryl catalysts. Particular attention was paid to the electronic charges of the Ti, C ipso of the substituted aryl group and the benzylic CH<sub>2</sub> and C<i><sub>ipso</sub></i> atoms. The Bader and NBO derived charges were compared with the recently reported polymerisation results by Chan. We found a strong correlation between the relative energies of one of the computed isomers and the activity of the catalyst. Neither NBO nor Bader charges could be convincingly correlated to the observed activity.
