Antisymmetrized Hückel Orbital Calculations of Ionization Potentials and Electron Affinities of Some Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Abstract

Antisymmetrized Hückel orbital calculations of the ionization energy and the electron affinity have been made for twenty-three condensed-ring aromatic molecules. In these calculations differential overlap has been neglected. The calculated ionization energies together with the polariographic reduction potentials permit the estimation of solvation energies of molecular ions.
