Abstract
A group-theoretical treatment of theKekulé structures of polyphenes is performed. General expressions in terms of the number of benzene rings are given for the symmetrical structure (Γ Kek ) and the characters (χKek) of the representation on the basis of theKekulé structures.
Zusammenfassung
Es wurde eine gruppentheoretische Behandlung derKekulé-Strukturen von Polyphenen durchgeführt. Es werden — in Abhängigkeit von der Anzahl der Benzoleinheiten — für die symmetrischen Strukturen (Γ Kek ) und die Charaktere (χKek) der Darstellung auf Basis derKekulé-Strukturen allgemeine Ausdrücke angegeben.
