This review describes the current state of magnetic criteria of aromaticity. The introduction
contains the fundamentals of ring currents in aromatic and antiaromatic systems, followed by …

The Nucleus Independent Chemical Shift (NICS) method was invented in 1996 by the late
Paul v. R. Schleyer as a computational tool for the assessment of aromaticity. In the …

In the 1970s, Density Functional Theory (DFT) was borrowed from physics and adapted to
chemistry by a handful of visionaries. Now chemical DFT is a diverse and rapidly growing …

Aromaticity is a central chemical concept widely used in modern chemistry for the
interpretation of molecular structure, stability, reactivity, and magnetic properties of many …

Large conjugated rings with persistent currents are novel promising structures in molecular‐
scale electronics. A six‐porphyrin nanoring structure that allegedly sustained an aromatic …

The stepwise reduction of a doubly cyclic alkyl (amino) carbene (CAAC)-stabilized 2, 3-bis
(dibromoboryl) naphthalene enables the isolation of the corresponding mono-and bis (boryl) …

For the concept of aromaticity, energetic quantification is crucial. However, this has been
elusive for excited-state (Baird) aromaticity. Here we report our serendipitous discovery of …

We present new insight into the nature of aromaticity in metal clusters. We give
computational arguments in favor of using the ring-current model over local indices, such as …

Developing norbornadiene–quadricyclane (NBD–QC) systems for molecular solar-thermal
(MOST) energy storage is often a process of trial and error. By studying a series of …

In the last decade, the study of aromaticity has experienced enormous progress. The new
discoveries, which include species such as the metallabenzenes, heterometallabenzenes …
