Advances in the Theory of Benzenoid Hydrocarbons II

Part of the book series: Topics in Current Chemistry ((TOPCURRCHEM,volume 162))

Abstract

The theory of the HMO total π-electron energy (E) of benzenoid hydrocarbons is surveyed with particular emphasis on the research of its dependence on molecular structure. Identities, bounds and approximate formulas for E are considered. The dependence of E on the size of the molecule and on the number of Kekulé structures is discussed in detail. The effect of cycles on E, and six-membered rings in particular, is considered within the framework of the theory of cyclic conjugation.
