Historyczny rozwój koncepcji aromatyczności
Journal Title: Wiadomości Chemiczne - Year 2015, Vol 69, Issue 9
Abstract
Aromaticity is one of the most important terms used in organic chemistry. It has been called as a “as a cornerstone of heterocyclic chemistry” or “a theoretical concept of immese practical importance”. The concept, in chemical sense, has been introduced by Friedrich August Kekulé von Stradonitz 150 ago. The paper presents the contribution to its development of many outstanding scientists: Emil Erlenmayer, Albert Ladenburg, Adolf von Baeyer, Victor Meyer, Heinrich Limpricht, Artur Hantzsch, Eugen Bamberger, Richard Willstätter, Ernest Crocker, James W. Armit, Robert Robinson, Erich Hückel, Artur Frost, Boris Musulin, Linus Pauling, Kathleen Lonsdale, Eric Clar, Haruo Hosoya, Henry Edward Armstrong, George W. Wheland, Fritz W. London, John Pople, Paul von Ragué Schleyer and others. Aromaticity is defined on the basis of four main criteria: energetic, geometric, magnetic and reactivity. Two modern definitions of the term are presented in chapter 2 (both are given in English).
