    • Strain-Free Sextet-Resonant Benzenoids and Their Antisextet Dualists

      Alexandru T. Balaban and Thomas G. Schmalz
      Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling2006 46 (4), 1563-1579

      By introducing antisextet dualists of sextet-resonant benzenoids that have only full and empty rings as defined by Clar, it was possible to devise a simple algorithm for an exhaustive enumeration of such sextet-resonant benzenoids (SRBs). Several ...

    • Partitioning of π-Electrons in Rings for Clar Structures of Benzenoid Hydrocarbons

      Milan Randić and Alexandru T. Balaban
      Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling2006 46 (1), 57-64

      Resonance structures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be associated with numerical formulas by assigning -electrons of CC double bonds to individual benzenoid rings. Each CC double bond in a resonance structure assigns two -electrons to a ring in ...

    • Cyclopentadiene Annulated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons:  Investigations of Electron Affinities

      Jason M. Gonzales, Christopher J. Barden, Shawn T. Brown, Paul von Ragué Schleyer, Henry F. Schaefer, III, and Qian-Shu Li
      Journal of the American Chemical Society2003 125 (4), 1064-1071

      The adiabatic electron affinities of cyclopentadiene and 10 associated benzannelated derivatives have been predicted with both density functional and HartreeFock theory. These systems can also be regarded as benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (...

    A History of the Structural Theory of Benzene - The Aromatic Sextet Rule and Huckel's Rule

    • A History of the Structural Theory of Benzene - The Aromatic Sextet Rule and Huckel's Rule

      Shigeaki Kikuchi
      Journal of Chemical Education1997 74 (2), 194

      This paper shows why the aromatic sextet rule rapidly lost significance in the 1930s and why it has been reevaluated since the 1950s. E. C. Crocker first proposed the rule in 1922, and for several years it was considered one of the most probable ...
