Aromaticity: The Alternating CC Bond Length Structures of [14]‐, [18]‐, and [22]Annulene
Abstract
First among unequals: Equal CC bond lengths, as found in benzene, are not necessary for aromaticity. [18]Annulene is the next Hückel monocycle where D6h symmetry is possible topologically (see picture). However, this widely accepted structure of [18]annulene is not correct. The 1H NMR chemical shifts and energy computations show that [18]annulene prefers CC bond-length alternation and C2 symmetry.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
