title: Aromaticity as a Quantitative Concept. 6. Aromaticity Variation with Molecular Environment.
abstract: The classical aromaticity of most heterocycles, and of some carbocycles such as azulene, increases with the polarity of the medium as shown by experimental and calculated bond lengths, aromaticity indices, and dipole moments.
