The development of catalytic methodologies involving the formation of C–C bonds to enable
the generation of cyclic systems constitutes a field of great relevance in synthetic organic …

Proposed more than 60 years ago, the ring current model (RCM) is still widely used to
rationalize the peculiar magnetic properties of aromatic molecules at the turn of the century …

Every attempt to employ mathematical methods in the study of chemical questions must be
considered profoundly irrational and contrary to the spirit of chemistry. If mathematical …

A method for calculating the various components of the magnetically induced current-density
tensor using gauge-including atomic orbitals is described. The method is formulated in the …

In the 1970s, Density Functional Theory (DFT) was borrowed from physics and adapted to
chemistry by a handful of visionaries. Now chemical DFT is a diverse and rapidly growing …

Evaluating the aromaticity of a molecular system and the influence of this concept on its
properties is a crucial step in the development of novel aromatic systems. Modern …

This review will attempt to cover the literatures published from 1988 dealing with cyclic and
acyclic azomethine ylides in which a part or the whole of the ylide conjugation is included in …

Aromaticity is a central chemical concept widely used in modern chemistry for the
interpretation of molecular structure, stability, reactivity, and magnetic properties of many …

Within the context of reactivity descriptors known in conceptual DFT, the linear response
function (χ (r, r′)) remained nearly unexploited. Although well known, in its time dependent …

In 1959 Winstein introduced the term “homoaromatic” to describe compounds that display
aromaticity despite one or more saturated linkages interrupting the formal cyclic conjugation …
