Cycloheptatrienyl Cation and Aromaticity
Description
Cycloheptatriene is a neutral monocyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon with seven carbon atoms. One carbon in the ring is sp3 hybridized, which breaks the continuous overlap of p orbitals. Even though the ring has three double bonds and 6 π electrons, cycloheptatriene is not aromatic because the p orbitals do not form one uninterr...

Transcript
Le cycloheptatriène est un autre hydrocarbure insaturé monocyclique neutre avec un nombre impair d’atomes de carbone.
Il possède six électrons π, ce qui permet de respecter la règle des 4n + 2 de Hückel.
Cependant, l’intervention du carbone sp3 perturbe la délocalisation de ces électrons π ; par conséqu...
