Circularly conjugated compounds with 4n+2 pi-electrons are known as aromatic compounds. They are generally stable and are therefore found in our surroundings. On the other hand, anti-aromatic ...

Compound boasts concentric σ and π aromaticityUndergraduates learn that aromaticity means a specific number of electrons in conjugated π orbitals above and below a ring. But like many concepts ...

Macrocyclic hydrocarbons formally made up of alternating single and double bonds (annulenes) are of interest, since theory predicts such compounds to be aromatic, provided their carbon skeleton can ...

It is widely used to account for the unusual stability of aromatic compounds arising from delocalization of electrons.

Aromatic compounds have a ring-like structure that enables electrons to be shared amongst the different bonds between the atoms. This results, among other things, in an extraordinary degree of ...

Until recently, it was though that the microbial degradation of aromatic compounds was absolutely dependent on the use of molecular oxygen for ring cleavage. However, as described here by Fuchs ...
