Abstract

The topological resonance energy (TRE) method is not always able to predict the correct order of stability in a series of conjugated isomers. Stable, singlet ground state conjugated molecules may have considerably smaller TRE values than highly reactive polyradical isomers. Therefore the TRE method should not be used as a criterion of aromaticity of non-classical conjugated systems.
