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 …

I Casademont-Reig, T Woller… - Physical Chemistry …, 2018 - pubs.rsc.org
The role of aromaticity in porphyrinoids is a current subject of debate due to the intricate
structure of these macrocycles, which can adopt Hückel, Möbius and even figure-eight …

Electron delocalization and aromaticity in low-lying excited states of archetypal organic compounds

F Feixas, J Vandenbussche, P Bultinck… - Physical Chemistry …, 2011 - pubs.rsc.org
Aromaticity is a property usually linked to the ground state of stable molecules. Although it is
well-known that certain excited states are unquestionably aromatic, the aromaticity of excited …

The role of the long‐range exchange corrections in the description of electron delocalization in aromatic species
