Abstract
In this theoretical study, we report on the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) of titled molecules confined by repulsive potentials of cylindrical symmetry mimicking a topology. Our calculations show that the spatial restriction significantly changes the picture of the MEP of molecules in a quantitative and qualitative sense. In particular, the drastic changes in the MEP as a function of the strength of spatial confinement are observed for the BrCN molecule. This preliminary study is the first step in the investigation of the behavior of the MEP of molecular systems under orbital compression.
