Few concepts are as frequently used as aromaticity in the current chemical literature. 1 This
may be quantified by ca. 300 000 papers dealing with the aromatic properties of chemical …

Since its introduction by August Kekulé in 1865, 1 the concept of aromaticity has been
continuously conquering new territories in chemistry (refs 2-20 are only a small fraction of …

A method of description of the chemical bonding combining the compactness and intuitive
simplicity of Lewis theory with the flexibility and generality of canonical molecular orbital …

Aromaticity, 1 one of the most important concepts in chemistry, is confined not only to planar
twodimensional (2D) molecules but also can be extended to diverse structures of other …

Conspectus Aromaticity, one of the most fundamental concepts in chemistry, has attracted
considerable attention from both theoreticians and experimentalists. Much effort on …

We present a comprehensive analysis of chemical bonding in pure boron clusters. It is now
established in joint experimental and theoretical studies that pure boron clusters are planar …

We report the study of small lithium clusters Li n 0/+ 1/-1 (n= 5− 7), performed via the novel
Gradient Embedded Genetic Algorithm (GEGA) technique and molecular orbital analysis …

Aromaticity is an important concept in chemistry primarily for organic compounds, but it has
been extended to compounds containing transition-metal atoms. Recent findings of …

We describe joint experimental and theoretical studies carried out collaboratively in the
authors' labs for understanding the structures and chemical bonding of novel atomic …

A new series of superalkali-based alkalides, ie, Li3+ (calix [4] pyrrole) M–, Li3O+ (calix [4]
pyrrole) M–, and M3O+ (calix [4] pyrrole) K–(M= Li, Na, and K), have been theoretically …
