Conclusions
-
1.
The (4n+2) Hückel rule does not hold for regular coronenes-m,l.
-
2.
The (4n+2) Hückel rule is fulfilled for unbranched cis-condensed cyclopentadienyl systems.
-
3.
The Hückel rule is not fulfilled for the transcondensed cyclopentadienyl systems: vacant bonding levels exist for all such systems.
