A comparison of theoretical compton profiles for aromatic and non-aromatic molecules

This paper compares Compton profiles and electronic momentum distributions derived from minimal Slater orbital basis set SCF MO wavefunctions for the molecules benzene, fulvene, trimethylene cyclopropane, dimethylene cyclobutene, pyridine and borazine. Except for borazine the total molecular Compton profiles are expected to be experimentally indistinguishable. It is concluded that momentum space properties seem to be more dependent on electronegativity than on aromaticity.
