Abstract

Semiempirical molecular orbital calculations at the level of AM1 type were carried out on Huckel type cyclacenes having arenoid rings (R) of 2-10. It has been found that the cryptoannulenic effect highly influences the molecular orbital characteristics of these systems. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
