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
O cicloheptaltrieno é outro hidrocarboneto insaturado monocíclico neutro com um número ímpar de átomos de carbono.
Possui seis elétrons π, cumprindo a regra 4n + 2 de Hückel.
No entanto, o carbono sp3 intermediário interrompe a deslocalização desses elétrons π; portanto, o cicloheptatrieno neutro não é ...
