Abstract

The resonance energies for the chair and boat puckering modes in benzene have been calculated through their hydrogenation energies. It is found that benzene retains its aromatic stabilization for distortions less than +0.3 Å/-0.3 Å and +0.3 Å/+0.3 Å for the chair and boat forms respectively. The calculated resonance energies and NICS for the benzene ring in hexaferrocenylbenzene (HFB) suggests that even though the benzene ring is puckered, it remains aromatic and thereby stable.
