Abstract

The effect of a twofold bond alternation on the bond orders and and on the π-electron contribution to the diamagnetic susceptibility of a cyclic even hydrocarbon polyene is investigated. Power series expansions and asymptotic expressions are given for and χπ in terms of the parameter t2 (0 ≤ t2 < 1) which characterizes the amount of bond alternation. It is found that bond alternation reduces both bond order and χπ strongly, the effect being more drastic the greater the bond alternation (t2→0).
