The Aromaticity of Dicupra[10]annulenes [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
An extensive theoretical investigation of the electronic structure of a tested fair model dicupra[10]annulene compound, based on analysis of the atom-pair delocalization indices, the Bader’s molecular graph, the inspection of the canonical molecular morbitals, the z components of their Nuclear Independent Chemical Shifts, NICS(0)zz , and the normalized Giambiagi multicenter delocalization indices, concludes that the perimeter aromaticity of the dicupra[10]annulene ring is consistent with both a 10 and a 14 π–electron Hückel aromatic 10-membered ring. In either case, the 10-membered ring encloses two 6 π–electron aromatic inner rings, hinged at the Cu–Cu bond. This work demonstrates that the aromaticity of the dicupra[10]annulenes closely resembles that of naphthalene. Hence, they are best regarded as metalla-polyacenes, which could make the building blocks of extended structures such as metalated nanotubes.
