Spherical Aromaticity — An Overview

  • Chapter
Fullerenes: From Synthesis to Optoelectronic Properties

Part of the book series: Developments in Fullerene Science ((DFUL,volume 4))

Abstract

Aromaticity has played an important role in modern organic chemistry, and is one of the most frequently used and widely accepted concept for understanding, systematizing and predicting peculiarities of structure, stability, reactivity and magnetic properties of organic compounds. Aromaticity is a concept of time-dependent phenomenon and its historical development has been well reviewed recently [1–4].
