Non-intersecting ring currents in [12]infinitene
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
The study reveals that [12]infinitene exhibits two non-intersecting diatropic ring currents along its edges, leading to a shielding cone and aromatic behavior. This contradicts predictions based on the Möbius aromaticity rule for twisted annulenes. The dication, however, shows paratropic ring currents and antiaromatic character due to a strong through-space ring current between stacked rings.

Scientists found that a special twisted molecule acts like a super stable ring, which was a big surprise! But when it loses some tiny pieces, the electricity flows differently, making it less stable instead.
