Abstract
The aromaticity of oxocarbon dianions the acidity of the conjugated acids is explained by the participation of resonant forms bearing the aromatic carbocyclic nucleus C n ( n−2)+ . This point of view is supported by both the Kekulé index values of the limiting resonance structures and a localization of the π-MO's by the Edmiston—Ruedenberg criterion.
