Correlations between the benzene character of acenes or helicenes and simple molecular descriptors.
Aromatic stabilities of acenes and helicenes, which are responsible for their biological, environmental and cancerous behavior have been modeled using a newly introduced Sadhana (Sd) and A indices. The results are compared with those obtained from PI (Padmakar-Ivan) index. The regression analysis has shown that excellent results are obtained by considering acenes and helicenes as separate classes of isomeric benzenoid hydrocarbons and that A index is better index than both PI and Sd indices.
