Abstract

Graph-theoretical arguments have produced an approach to generating antiaromatic hydrocarbon bicyclic structures. The newly recognized antiaromatic structures feature strategically located odd acyclic substituents. PM3-calculated ΔST values are used to support the assignment of antiaromatic character to appropriate structures.
