The Effect of Peripheral Circuits on the Total \pi-Electron Energies of Cyclacenes

Authors: LEMİ TÜRKER

Abstract: Within the framework of the Hückel molecular orbital theory, certain linear models are developed to express the contribution of peripheral circuits of cyclacenes into their total \pi-electron energies, which explain why cyclacenes exhibit the cryptoannulenic behavior as their peripheral circuits which are annulenic in character.
