Molecular Orbital Theory for Organic Chemists
Abstract
In 1931 Erich Hückel published his treatment of benzene with a method now generally referred to as the Hückel MO (HMO) method. He showed how cyclic arrays of 2, 6 and 10 π-electrons form closed shells that provide enhanced stability. By the middle thirties he had applied his approach to other aspects of organic chemistry but thereafter did no further original work. Extensive theoretical and experimental work on his concepts was done by others. “Molecular Orbital Theory for Organic Chemists” was written a quarter century later and documented brilliant syntheses of new “4 n +2” molecules as well as numerous applications of HMO theory to redox processes, aromatic substitution, carbocation and carbanion reactions, rearrangements, as well as “Frontier Orbital” perturbation approaches. The period reviewed developed predominantly the chemistry of π-electrons but was followed shortly after by various treatments of σ-electrons in what can now be recognized as the next era of quantum chemistry.

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.
