Abstract

A novel general property of theS- andT-isomers (a concept which has been introduced and elaborated elsewhere1, 2) of alternant hydrocarbons is demonstrated, namely that due to the HMO total π-electron energy theS-isomer should always be more stable than theT-isomer. Some other classes of conjugated isomers are also constructed, for which similar inequalities are derived.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird allgemein gezeigt, daß bei einemS-T-Isomerenpaar (beschrieben in1, 2) eines alternierenden Kohlenwasserstoffes infolge der HMO π-Elektronen-Gesamtenergie dasS-Isomere stets stabiler sein sollte als dasT-Isomere. Weitere Klassen konjugierter Isomere werden konstruiert und ähnliche Ungleichungen angegeben.

  5. The μ-polynomial depends, in fact, on a vectort=(t 1,t 2, ...,t r ). In the present paper, however, a special case of the μ-polynomial is considered, namely whent 1=t 2=...=t r =t. The same assumption was made also in Paper I.
