title: Aromaticity in polyacene analogues of inorganic ring compounds.
abstract: The aromaticity in the polyacene analogues of several inorganic ring compounds (BN-acenes, CN-acenes, AlN-acenes, BO-acenes, BS-acenes, and Na6-acenes) is reported here for the first time. Conceptual density functional theory-based reactivity descriptors and the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) values are used in this analysis. The nature of the site selectivity is understood through the charges and the philicities.
