Slide 1: Learning Outcomes

In this tutorial you will learn to:

define aromaticity and identify the molecular criteria that will lead to aromaticity.
distinguish the criteria for aromaticity, anti-aromaticity, and non-aromaticity.
identify aromatic compounds and ions based on structure.
explain certain molecular behaviour based on aromatic stability.

This tutorial is organised according to the following topics:

Context to the concept of aromaticity
Historical perspective to the structure of benzene
Stability of benzene
Characteristics and examples of aromaticity, anti-aromaticity, and non-aromaticity
Focus on heterocyclic compounds
