Abstract

In several articles we have reported algorithms to count resonance structures for convex cyclofusenes and parallelogram-like benzenoids with and without holes using a combinatorial/geometric approach. In this article, using the same approach we report algorithms that facilitate resonance structure counts in both contorted and flat hexabenzocoronene.
