Verifying the PCP-rule by five-center bond indices [PDF]
According to the recently discovered PCP-rule, the (stabilizing) energy-effect of the cyclic conjugation in the 5-membered ring of acenaphthylene- and fluoranthene-type polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons increases with the number of phenyl ...
