Talk:Aromaticity
From Academic Kids
There are anoroganic compounds that are aromatic, too, e.g. B3N3H6.
Only circular arrangements wich contains (4*N)+2 (N=1->infinite) free electrons are aromatic. As example, C6H6 (benzene) is aromatic because it has 6 free electrons (4*1+2), while C8H8 is not aromatic (8 != (4*N)+2)...
Article redundancy?
Some of the information here is shared with aromatic hydrocarbon, and that article has some extra stuff that should perhaps be here. How should the topic be divided up, really? I'm thinking there ought to be one major article, probably called "Chemical Aromaticity" or something like that. The aromatic hydrocarbon article could then be much shorter, referring to the aromaticity article for all the general information about the phenomenon. ACW 01:24, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I tried to spot out the main needs for aromaticity as depicted by textbooks with a numbered list. Althought maybe it is quite redundant, i think it should be pointed out more clearly what are these requirements. I'm not satisfied, but i prefer to leave it to be fixed by someone else in order to gain a more clear language for this article. Needless to say, but feel free to revert it completely. --munehiro 15:19, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
