title: Magnetic resonance energies of heterocyclic conjugated molecules.
abstract: Magnetic resonance energy (MRE), derived from ring-current diamagnetic susceptibility, can be interpreted as a kind of aromatic stabilization energy. For polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons, this quantity correlates well with topological resonance energy (TRE). MREs for typical heterocyclic conjugated molecules were then calculated and analyzed. It was found that even for heterocycles MRE highly correlates with TRE. Thus, the MRE concept has been firmly established as a reliable indicator of aromaticity, which mediates magnetic criteria of aromaticity with energetic ones. The conformity of heterocycles to the rule of topological charge stabilization can be checked using not only TRE but also MRE.
