This lecture delves into the concept of aromaticity, exploring the energy profiles of various compounds and the resonance energies involved. It discusses the stability of aromatic compounds, the resonance energy versus aromatic stabilization energy, and the methods used to measure aromaticity, such as Nucleus-Independent Chemical Shifts (NICS) and magnetic criteria. The presentation also covers the multifaceted definition of aromaticity, quantifying antiaromaticity, and identifying aromatic molecules.
