Opis

Designed to assist chemists by integrating the results of calculations on molecules and ions into their general body of chemical knowledge, this volume contains recent contributions from theoretical and computational chemistry on the development of the concept of aromaticity (antiaromaticity) and its expansion into new areas such as organometallic and cluster compounds and three-dimensional structures. Furthermore, it updates the modern status of aromaticity and covers basic principles and experimental applications.
