The Induced Magnetic Field in Cyclic Molecules
Abstract
The response of a molecule to an applied external magnetic field can be evaluated by a graphical representation of the induced magnetic field. We have applied this technique to four representative, cyclic organic molecules, that is, to aromatic (C 6 H 6 , D 6 h ), anti‐aromatic (C 4 H 4 , D 2 h ) and non‐aromatic (C 4 H 8 , D 4 h , and C 6 H 12 , D 3 d ) molecules. The results show that molecules that contain a π system possess a long‐range magnetic response, while the induced magnetic field is short‐range for molecules without π systems. The induced magnetic field of aromatic molecules shields the external field. In contrast, the anti‐aromatic molecules increase the applied field inside the ring. Aromatic, anti‐aromatic, and non‐aromatic molecules can be characterized by the appearance of the magnetic response. We also show that the magnetic response is directly connected to nucleus‐independent chemical shifts (NICS).

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.
