Abstract

In a series of earlier studies, it was established that benzoannelation in the angular (resp. linear) position relative to a ring R of a polycyclic conjugated ?-electron system, increases (resp. decreases) the intensity of the cyclic conjugation in the ring R. Herein, it is shown how this regularity can be explained by means of a simple, Kekul?-structurebased argument, itself based on an idea of Randic from the 1970s.
