Abstract

It is shown that electronic absorption characteristics of many examples of dye molecules containing unsaturated five-membered ring systems can be explained in terms of anti-aromaticity of the rings. The criteria used to assign anti-aromatic character are specified. These are less restrictive than in the original definition of anti-aromaticity given by Breslow.
