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)
