Recommendations for the Evaluation of Aromatic Stabilization Energies
Abstract
[reaction: see text] Perturbing influences, such as strain and the presence of heteroatoms, complicate the evaluation of aromatic stabilization energies (ASE). These complications are overcome easily by employing the "isomerization method". This is based on the differences (ISE) between total energies computed for only two species: a methyl derivative of the aromatic system and its nonaromatic exocyclic methylene isomer. The ISEs of benzene, pyridine, and naphthalene as well as the strained [5]paracyclophane, methano[10]annulene, and octadehydro[14]annulene are evaluated.

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.
