Each relation below ends at this concept.

HeterocycleAromaticity

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A conjugated heterocycle can be assigned aromatic character using explicit energetic, structural, magnetic, or electronic criteria; heteroatom participation and state can change the assessment.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

AromaticityMolecular-orbital theory

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Molecular-orbital models represent cyclic delocalization associated with aromaticity, but energetic, magnetic, structural, and reactivity criteria need not agree in marginal cases.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a model, idealization, restricted ansatz, approximation scheme, phenomenological fit, or historical representation used for the source system or theory. It need not have a universal small error parameter and is not thereby a controlled limit or effective theory. The edge label and detail must identify the precise status.

AromaticityResonance in chemical structure

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Resonance contributors model aspects of aromatic delocalization, but aromaticity is multidimensional and also assessed through energetic, structural, magnetic, and reactivity criteria.
