✦ Synopsis

The number of Kekult structures for primitive coronoids is studied. The systems have obvious counterparts within a class of hydrocarbons known as cycloarenes. Complete solutions are given for centrosymmetrical primitive coronoids and those with trigonal or hexagonal symmetries. The technique is based on considerations of single unbranded chains associated with the coronoids. A lemma (nor proved here) concerning unbranched chains in general plays an important role.

The linear dependence, previously claimed, of the total -rr-electron energy (E~) of isomeric benzenoid hydrocarbons on the number of Kekul6 structures (K) is found to be a satisfactory approximation only for benzenoids having eight or fewer six-membered rings (h ~< 8), and is violated if h >1 9. For
