Abstract
The molecular orbital (LCAO) method has been used to calculate the electron delocalization energies, bond orders and freevalence indexes of some cyclic small-ring hydrocarbons and free radicals including a number of cyclobutadiene derivatives. It is concluded that the (4n + 2) π-electron rule of aromatic stability can only be justified by the simple molecular orbital treatment for monocyclic conjugated polyolefins.
