Abstract

The theoretical treatment of cycle-effects on total pi-electron energy,

mainly elaborated by Nenad Trinajstic and his research group, is

re-stated in a general and more formal manner. It enables to envisage several

other possible ways of measuring the cycle-effects and points at further

directions of research.
