Directed Toward the Development of a Unified Structure Theory of Polycyclic Conjugated Hydrocarbons - From Benzenoids to Fullerenes

Abstract

Several new principles - periodic table set, excised internal structure, circumscribing, constant-isomer series, aufbau enumeration, leapfrogging, and a topological paradigm - have led to a further understanding of the structure/property relationships of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons.

Key Words:

• Periodic table
• circumscribing
• constant-isomer series
• enumeration
• excised internal structure
• fluoranthenoids
• leapfrogging
