摘要
Triplet states of 4n pi-electron annulenes exhibit partly aromatic character with an increase of aromaticity as the size of the ring increases. Small effects of dearomatisation are due to bond elongation. Singlet states are antiaromatic. their dearomatisation is mostly due to the bond length alternation. Correlation analysis applied to basic indices of aromaticity (delta(H-1). NICS, HOMA and chi) practically shows the lack of any correlation in sub-groups consisting of triplets or singlets.
