Resonance-Enhanced Multiphoton Ionization Spectroscopy of Monocyclic and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Gas Phase. [PDF]
Rapid Commun Mass SpectromABSTRACT Rationale Aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pose significant risks to human health and the environment due to their toxic and carcinogenic properties. These depend strongly on molecular structure, with even isomers exhibiting different characteristics.

Effect of a ring on the cyclic conjugation in another ring: applications to acenaphthylene-type polycyclic conjugated molecules [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2010 In a recent work, a method was developed for assessing the influence ief(G, Z0|Z1) of a ring Z1 on the energy effect of another ring Z0 in a polycyclic conjugated molecule G. Herein, a report is given of detailed numerical investigations of ief(G, Z0|Z1)
