Abstract:
The correlation between bond lengths and bond orders in benzenoid hydrocarbons has been considered. Bond orders for six molecules were obtained by means of a simple MO-LCAO-SC treatment, and a procedure is suggested for calculating accurate bond lengths from such self-consistent bond orders.
