Quantifying aromaticity with electron delocalisation measures

F Feixas, E Matito, J Poater, M Solà - Chemical Society Reviews, 2015 - pubs.rsc.org
Aromaticity cannot be measured directly by any physical or chemical experiment because it
is not a well-defined magnitude. Its quantification is done indirectly from the measure of …

Energetic aspects of cyclic pi-electron delocalization: evaluation of the methods of estimating aromatic stabilization energies

MK Cyrański - Chemical reviews, 2005 - ACS Publications
In quantum mechanics the state of an electron is defined within the frame of probabilistic
theory. 1 The electrons of an isolated atom are confined to the space of this atom, which in …

The delocalization index as an electronic aromaticity criterion: application to a series of planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

J Poater, X Fradera, M Duran… - Chemistry–A European …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
This work introduces a new local aromaticity measure, defined as the mean of Bader's
electron delocalization index (DI) of para‐related carbon atoms in six‐membered rings. This …
