Topological Properties of Concealed Non-Kekulean Benzenoid Hydrocarbon

Topological properties of altan-benzenoid hydrocarbons

The main topological characteristics of altan-benzenoids were established. In particular, it was shown that the perimeter of Kekuléan altan-benzenoids is of size 4k , having a destablizing (anti-aromatic) energy effect, similar to (4k)-annulenes.

Graph-topological approach to magnetic properties of benzenoid hydrocarbons.

Application of topological properties and graph theory to benzenoid hydrocarbons allowed us to construct an effective approach interpreting ring current formation in molecules when exposed to an external magnetic field. Transformation of unexcited canonical structures for molecules of 34 benzenoid hydrocarbons into circuit structures and then to directed circuit structures allowed us to define ...

Topological Properties of Benzenoid Systems. IX *. On the Sextet Polynomial

A number of mathematical relations for the sextet polynomial are derived. A graph has been introduced (the so called C-graph), representing those properties of a benzenoid system which are essential in the sextet theory of Clar. The main structural properties of the C-graph are determined. The obtained results contribute towards a better understanding of the algebraic and combinatorial backgrou...

Determining the Number of Resonance Structures in Concealed Non-Kekuléan Benzenoid Hydrocarbons

The number of resonance structures (SC) for previously published concealed non-Kekuléan benzenoid hydrocarbons is determined. Using a simple computer program, analytical expressions for determining SC for various classes of non-Kekuléan (free-radical) benzenoid hydrocarbons are derived, and some properties of concealed non-Kekuléan benzenoid hydrocarbons are studied.
