Abstract

A study on the π-delocalization and distortivity of the π-electrons and its chemical manifestations was presented. The quantum chemical notion of π-delocalization was presented. The thermochemical properties of delocalized species and their relation to vertical resonance energies and π distortivities were discussed. The study also included the structural and spectroscopic manifestations of ground state π-distortivity in benzene, naphthalene, anthracene and antiaromatic molecules.
