Information of spatial and energy distribution the electronic state described from localized molecular orbitals is important to understand optical properties materials. In this study, photoemission spectra a highly-oriented-coronene monolayer on Au(111) were measured by photoelectron momentum microscope (PMM) installed at soft X-ray beamline BL6U UVSOR-III synchrotron. Whole valence band mappin...

X-ray Raman spectra of the carbon K-edge have been recorded using 6.461 keV radiation for a petroleum asphaltene. By comparison with coronene, graphite, and paraffin standards, the asphaltene spectrum is seen to be composed of contributions from saturated and aromatic carbon species. The information contained in the carbon K-edge was extracted with bulk (approximately 1 mm) sensitivity, because...

The structure and stability of ca. 100 nonplanar constitutional isomers of the coronene molecule of general formula C(24)H(12) have been estimated by semiempirical and by ab initio calculations. The isomers studied are unbranched cyclic catacondensed structures and fall into two classes, viz., the belt (B) and the Moebius (M) type. The calculations have shown some of the M-isomers to be more st...

An efficient algorithm leading to the Fries canonical structure is presented for benzenoid hydrocarbons. This is a purely topological approach, which is based on adjacency matrices and the Hadamard procedure of matrix multiplication. The idea is presented for naphthalene, as an example. The Fries canonical-structures are also derived for anthracene, coronene, triphenylene, phenanthrene, benz[a]...
