Abstract
The magnetic moments of levels of ring π-electron chains along a cyclic σ core of a molecule are calculated for various values of the form factor of the periodic potential of the σ-core field. The cases of short-range (flexible chain) and long-range (rigid chain) strong interelectron repulsion are considered. The magnetic moments of the flexible-chain levels are practically independent of the form factor. The magnetic moments of the rigid-chain levels are less than the corresponding moments of the flexible chain, but at certain values of the form factor resonance occurs and the rigid-chain moments approach those of the flexible chain. An anomalously large Zeeman splitting of the upper electron levels of large aromatic molecules is predicted.
