Relationship of charge to antiaromaticity in bis-fluorenyl dications and fluorenyl monocations: experimental support for theoretical calculations

Abstract

The antiaromaticity of fluorenyl cations is dependent on the magnitude of the charge of the system. Theoretical assessments of antiaromaticity and charge were supported by experimental NMR chemical shifts. Delocalization was related to antiaromaticity, and evaluated through the standard deviation of the charges on carbons of the fluorenyl systems.
