Traces of magnetizability, traces of magnetic shielding at the hydrogen nuclei, and nucleus-independent chemical shift are not reliable aromaticity quantifiers for planar conjugated hydrocarbons. A measure of aromaticity is provided by the out-of-plane tensor components, whose magnitude is influenced by the ð-ring currents.

Abstract
Traces of magnetizability, traces of magnetic shielding at the hydrogen nuclei, and nucleus-independent chemical shift are not reliable aromaticity quantifiers for planar conjugated hydrocarbons. A measure of aromaticity is provided by the out-of-plane tensor components, whose magnitude is influenced by the ð-ring currents. The failure of nucleus-independent chemical shift in this regard was proved for the molecule shown in the abstract graphic, sustaining a diatropic ð-current. The validity of the ring-current model is reaffirmed.File in questo prodotto:
