The interaction of delocalized π-electrons with molecular vibrations is key to charge transport processes in π-conjugated organic materials based on aromatic monomers. Yet the role that specific aromatic motifs play on charge transfer is poorly understood. Here we show that the molecular edge topology in charged catacondensed aromatic hydrocarbons influences the Herzberg-Teller coupling of π-el...

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 r...

The atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index is a recently introduced topological index, defined as ABC(G) = ∑ uv∈E(G) √ du+dv−2 dudv , where du (or dv) is the degree the vertex u (or v). The ABC index of benzenoid systems and phenylenes are computed, a simple relation is established between the atom-bond connectivity index of a phenylene and the corresponding hexagonal squeeze in this paper. Mathema...

Kekule structures are transformed into the subspace of their double bonds to yield the correspondilng factor graphs, orig.inally called submolecules (8. E 1Bas i 1, Internat. J. Quantum Chem. 21 (1982) 771). A graiph-theoretical analysis of factor graphs is presented for certain classes o,f benzeno1i:d hydrocarbons. Such an analysis led to expressions for .the construction of sextet polynomials...

The title compound, C(20)H(32)N(2)O(2)S(2), has been synthesized by the reaction of α-methyl-sulfanylcyclo-dodeca-none and p-toluene-sulfonyl-hydrazine. In the crystal structure, the conformation of the non-benzenoid ring is [3333] and the methyl-sulfanyl group is in the α-side exo position. The mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds.

A method for the calculation of the hyper–Wiener index (WW ) of a benzenoid system B is described, based on its elementary cuts. A pair of elementary cuts partitions the vertices of B into four fragments, possessing nrs , r, s = 1, 2 vertices. WW is equal to the sum of terms of the form n11 n22 + n12 n21 . The applicability of the method is illustrated by deducing a general expression for WW of...

In this paper, the infra-red absorption spectra of a number of crystalline natural estrogens are presented and considered in relation to chemical structure. As a group, the natural estrogens are distinguished chemically from other steroids by the benzenoid structure of Ring A, which gives rise to certain infra-red absorption bands by which their spectra may be differentiated from those of other...

An explicit combinatorial expression is obtained for the Zhang-Zhang polynomial (also known as “Clar cover polynomial”) of a large class of pericondensed benzenoid systems, the multiple linear hexagonal chains Mn,m. By means of this result, various problems encountered in the Clar theory of Mn,m are also resolved: counting of Clar and Kekulé structures, determining the Clar number, and calculat...
