Question
For each of the species below, identify any cyclic conjugated system, then:
A. Determine the number of electrons in a system of cyclic conjugation (zero if no cyclic conjugation).
B. Specify whether the species is "a"-aromatic, "aa"-anti-aromatic, or "na"-non-aromatic (neither aromatic nor anti-aromatic).
(Presume rings to be planar unless structure obviously prevents planarity. If there is more than one conjugated ring, count electrons in the largest.)
Explanation / Answer
An aromatic system has a 4n+2 number of electrons. Anti aromatic compond has 4n electrons.
1. Number of electrons in a system of cyclic conjugation = 4
Anti aromatic
2. Number of electrons in a system of cyclic conjugation = 0
Non-aromatic
-------------------------------------------------------------
1. Number of electrons in a system of cyclic conjugation = 4
Aromatic
2.Number of electrons in a system of cyclic conjugation = 6
Aromatic
-----------------------------------------------
1.Number of electrons in a system of cyclic conjugation = 4
Non-aromatic
2. Number of electrons in a system of cyclic conjugation = 6
Non-Aromatic (cyclic but not planar)
