Title
Perfect Matchings in Polyhexes, or Recent Graph-theoretical Contributions to Benzenoids
Abstract
After an introduction on the history of polycyclic aromatic compounds, recent advances in the theory of benzenoids are briefly reviewed. Then using systems with 4, 5, or 6 benzenoid rings for illustration, the partition of the P pi-electrons among the rings of the benzenoid is presented, followed by a different way of examining the distribution of these pi-electrons which is called the signature of the benzenoid, consisting in six integers from s(6) to s(1). The P pi-electrons are divided between the two sums s(6) + s(5) + s(2) + s(1) and s(4) + s(3) characterizing thereby the closeness of benzenoids to all-resonant structures according to Clars theory.
