The theory of Part I (Coulson & Longuet-Higgins 1947) is applied to hydrocarbons and their hetero-derivatives. An equation is given relating differences in activation energy to electron densities and atom polarizabilities (in the sense of Part I) for a heterolytic reaction at different positions in a conjugated system. The equations of Part I are then applied to hydrocarbons containing no odd-membered unsaturated rings. It has previously been shown that in such hydrocarbons all the electron densities are unity, and it is here proved that when one coulomb integral is altered slightly, the electron densities are alternately increased and decreased throughout the molecule. This fact is shown to provide a theoretical basis for the experimental law of alternating polarity in conjugated systems containing a hetero-atom.

9a,9-BN anthracene was synthesized using a simple three-step sequence involving intramolecular electrophilic borylation of 2-benzylpyridines.


This part is concerned with the changes in bond order that take place in a conjugated system when the resonance integral of a bond, or the coulomb term of an atom is altered. It is shown that the sign of the mutual polarizability of two bonds in a chain depends upon whether there is an even or odd number of other bonds between them. Numerical values are given for mutual bond polarizabilities in some important hydrocarbons, and it is found that in the polyenes the effect of a perturbation decreases rapidly with distance along the chain. The effect of hetero-substitution on bond orders is considered, and the results compared with the predictions of the qualitative resonance theory.

Bis(dicyanomethylene)-substituted quinoidal π-conjugated systems containing a benzo[c]thiophene unit have been investigated for application as n-type semiconductors.


In this paper there is discussed the interaction of two conjugated systems across a conj ugated single bond. It is shown that the conjugation energy across the bond, and the mobile order of the bond, are both positive, and that both are closely related to the self-polarizabilities of the atoms forming the bond. This relation forms the basis for a definition of the conjugating power of a position as β times its self-polarizability. The conjugating power of various hydrocarbon residues is shown to increase in the order: phenyl, β-naphthyl, 2-butadienyl, α-naphthyl, vinyl, 1-butadienyl.
