摘要

Aromaticity occupies a central place in chemical thought. Aromaticity as such, is not an experimental quantity and no generally acceptable definition has been established to quantify this property. Conventionally, it is associated with conjugated n-systems with very high stability, planarity, delocalization with small bond length alternation, preference for substitution reactions over the addition reactions, and exalted diamagnetic susceptibilities. Aromaticity is associated with cyclic arrays of mobile electrons with favourable symmetries, leading to fully delocalized structures with equal bond lengths. Benzene is a seminal example of aromaticity. Antiaromatic systems are characterized by localized rather than delocalized electronic and geometric structures, #pi#-bonding and #sigma#-#pi# separation in the planar conjugated systems are an integral part of contemporary chemical thinking. The #sigma#-#pi# separation was the basis for the famous Huckel rules which account for the special stability for closed shell 4n+2 #pi#-electron systems and instability for 4n#pi#-electron systems. The stability of cyclopropenyl cation and the apparent instability of cyclobutadiene laid strong foundations to the 4n + 2 rule for aromaticity, and the 4n rule for antiaromaticity. These Huckel rules have become among the most powerful paradigms of chemistry, in general and organic chemistry, in particular. Consequently, aromatic species are associated with highly delocalized z-electronic component, with equal bond lengths, and special stability relative to an open-chain reference. In contrast, antiaromatic systems exhibit bond localizations and their geometries are non-uniform, exhibiting alternating C-C bond lengths, z-delocalization and geometry have thus found a strong link in the aromatic and antiaromatic organic compounds. This led to a 'popular belief' that symmetric geometries, with equal C-C bondlengths, in species such as benzene or allyl are due to the inherent tendency of #pi#-electrons for strong delocalization in the aromatic species. Apparently, these ideas have become so popular and powerful and also an integral part of our thinking in structural organic chemistry, without any concrete proof.
