Talk:Simple aromatic ring

Propose to move the content to new name: heteroarene because other arenes already covered in arene compounds. V8rik 22:02, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I absolutely disagree. Arene compounds redirects to aromatic hydrocarbon which also covers substituted aromatic hydrocarbons. There is the need to keep all basic aromatic systems in one place. I would instead suggest to move content from aromatic hydrocarbon here. While formally the term arene is correct, the term aromatic is way more common. Cacycle 00:49, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I have reverted your drastic and undiscussed changes to the article. Feel free to add the constructive parts from your edit back in. Cacycle 01:05, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

• Hi Cacycle, I have spent some efforts to reorganize benzene as the parent compound, arene compound as derivatives of benzene, Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon as the polycyclics and heteroarene as the heterocyclic counterparts and aromaticity as the underlying concept. This makes sense to me. According to Wiki guidelines it is permitted to make edits without prior discussion. If you disagree you cannot just revert the edit and invite me back in to adjust my intended edit to your taste. Wiki also requires prior discussion to a move and I did just that. Your Soviet style tactics disturb me and I will abandon my efforts in this particular field (there is after all plenty of chemistry left to participate in.....) Cheers V8rik 16:44, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Vetivazulene

I see this list only has items up to fused 6 membered rings. I think Vetivazulene is aromatic with a seven member and five member ring fused together.Beakerboy 18:12, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Antiaromatic compounds in table

How is it that the table on the right contains compounds that are specifically ruled out by the mention of Hückel's law in the text on the left? Examples are benzocyclobutene (8 pi electrons), and pentalene (8 pi electrons). I'll proceed to eliminate them. — isilanes (talk|contribs) 19:35, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Benzocyclobutene is 6π, an sp³ link on benzene itself. But benzocyclobutadiene...it really is more like "6π aromatic benzene, with separate vinyl link on it", not a unified 8π precisely to avoid the antiaromaticity. Long-belated thanks for cleaning it up. DMacks (talk) 23:07, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Diagrams

When is it appropriate to do the circle thing instead of showing double/single bonds? —Random832 19:24, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Inclusion criteria for diagrams table

It looks pretty cherry-picked. There are 5, 6, fused-5/6, fused-6/6, fused-6/6/6, some but not all heterocyclic possibilities, many that do but some that do not have their own articles. We need some criteria for inclusion and organization. DMacks (talk) 23:13, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
