Abstract
Recently, we have reported on calculation of π‐electron ring currents in several smaller fully benzenoid hydrocarbons having up to eight fused benzene rings and five Clar π‐aromatic sextets. In contrast to early HMO ring current calculations and more recent ab initio calculations of π‐electron density, our current calculations are based on a graph theoretical model in which contributions to ring currents comes from currents associated with individual conjugated circuits. In this contribution, we consider several larger fully benzenoid hydrocarbons having from 9 to 13 fused rings and from six or seven π‐aromatic sextets. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
