A unified orbital model of delocalised and localised currents in monocycles, from annulenes to azabora-heterocycles.

Why are some (4n+2)pi systems aromatic, and some not? The ipsocentric approach to the calculation of the current density induced in a molecule by an external magnetic field predicts a four-electron diatropic (aromatic) ring current for (4n+2)pi carbocycles and a two-electron paratropic (antiaromatic...
