Triplet-state structures, energies, and antiaromaticity of BN analogues of benzene and their benzo-fused derivatives

M Baranac-Stojanović - The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2019 - ACS Publications
It is well known that benzene is aromatic in the ground state (the Hückel's rule) and
antiaromatic in the first triplet (T1) excited state (the Baird's rule). Whereas its BN analogues …
