The Pauling bond order can be viewed as a measure of the π-electron content of the respective carbon-carbon bond. In benzenoid hydrocarbons its values lie between 0 (in the case of essential single bonds) and 1 (in the case of essential double bonds). If the benzenoid molecule does not possess essential single and double bonds, then the Pauling bond orders are greater than 0 and less than 1, but may assume values arbitrarily close to 0 and 1. The π-electron content of a ring is equal to the sum of the π-electron contents of the carbon-carbon bonds forming this ring. We show that in benzenoid hydrocarbons the π-electron content of any (six-membered) ring lies between 0 and 5.5. If the molecule does not possess essential single and double bonds, then the π-electron content of any ring is greater than 0 and less than 5.5, but may assume values arbitrarily close to 0 and 5.5.

Within a systematic study of cyclic conjugation in the benzo-annelated derivatives of acenaphthylene and fluoranthene, a general regularity was discovered, named phenyl-cyclopentadienyl rule (PCP rule). According to this rule, six-membered rings connected to the five-membered ring by a single carbon-carbon bond increase the magnitude of cyclic conjugation in the five-membered ring. The greater the number of such six-membered rings is, the stronger the cyclic conjugation in the five-membered ring. The PCP rule was initially established by studying the energy effects of individual rings, and was eventually corroborated by a variety of other independent approaches (Wiberg bond orders, carbon-carbon bond lengths calculated by high-level ab initio DFT methods, multicenter delocalization indices, ring currents).

Carbon-carbon bond formation by transition metal-catalyzed C–H activation has become an important strategy to fabricate new bonds in a rapid fashion. Despite the pharmacological importance of <i>ortho</i>-arylbenzylamines, however, effective <i>ortho</i>-C–C bond formation from C–H bond activation of free primary and secondary benzylamines using Pd<sup>II</sup> remains an outstanding challenge. Presented herein is a new strategy for constructing <i>ortho</i>-arylated primary and secondary benzylamines mediated by carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>). The use of CO<sub>2</sub> is critical to allowing this transformation to proceed under milder conditions than previously reported, and that are necessary to furnish free amine products that can be directly used or elaborated without the need for deprotection. In cases where diarylation is possible, a chelate effect is demonstrated to facilitate selective monoarylation.
