Aromatic Properties of Fully-benzenoid Hydrocarbons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a family of structurally closely related fully-benzenoid hydrocarbons of increasing number of fused benzene rings. Local and global aromatic properties of such molecules are investigated with a particular interest in investigating the role of the finite size of such molecules in modelling the high-polymer or even graphite. An interesting alternation of local properties for benzene rings in a similar environment was observed.

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.
متن کاملTopological 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.
متن کاملWhat Do We Know about C28H14 and C30H14 Benzenoid Hydrocarbons and Their Evolution to Related Polymer Strips?
While critically reviewing the current status of what is known about C28H14 and C30H14 benzenoid isomers, which are ubiquitous pyrolytic constituents, some new insights will be presented. Representative isomers belonging to these benzenoid hydrocarbons are at the crossroads to homologous series that extend to infinite polymer strips that have been the object of numerous molecular modeling studi...
متن کاملAdvances of Clar's Aromatic Sextet Theory and Randić 's Conjugated Circuit Model
Clar's aromatic sextet theory provides a good means to describe the aromaticity of benzenoid hydrocarbons, which was mainly based on experimental observations. Clar defined sextet pattern and Clar number of benzenoid hydrocarbons, and he observed that for isomeric benzenoid hydrocarbons, when Clar number increases the absorption bands shift to shorter wavelength, and the stability of these isom...
متن کاملOpen-Shell Benzenoid Polycyclic Hydrocarbons
Graphene has been found to be an attractive material since its discovery in 2004 and has drawn enormous interest among researchers owing to its intrinsic electronic and magnetic properties. An indefinitely large graphene sheet, if cut along the two edge directions, can generate two distinct, well-defined small graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), which may be classified into “zigzag” edge (1, transpoly...
