%0 Journal Article %T Dependence of Dewar resonance energy of benzenoid molecules on Kekul¨¦ structure count %A IVAN GUTMAN %A SLAVKO RADENKOVIC %J Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society %D 2006 %I Serbian Chemical Society %X The dependence of the Dewar resonance energy (DRE) on the Kekul¨¦ structure count (K) was found to be significantly different from that earlier anticipated. Within classes of benzenoid isomers, the DRE increases either as Kl for l ~ 0.3 or as (ln K)l for l ~ 2. Both functional dependencies result in approximate expressions for DRE of nearly equal accuracy. Approximations of the form DRE ~ a K + b and DRE ~ a' ln K + b' are somewhat less accurate, but can still be used in usual practical applications of the Dewar resonance energy. %K Dewar resonance energy %K resonance energy %K Kekul¨¦ structure count %K benzenoid hydrocarbons %U http://www.shd.org.yu/HtDocs/SHD/Vol71/No10/JSCS_V71_No10-06.pdf
