Annelated perylenes: benzenoid molecules violating the Kekulé-structure-based cyclic conjugation models

Several currently used models for assessing the extent of cyclic conjugation in benzenoid hydrocarbons, all based on Kekulé-type structural formulas, predict that there is no cyclic conjugation in the central, “empty”, ring of perylene and its annelated derivatives. In this paper it is shown that in...
