Möbius aromaticity

ID: mobius-aromaticity

Möbius aromaticity refers to a unique type of aromaticity that arises in certain cyclic, conjugated systems that have a Möbius topology, typically characterized by having a twisted, half-twist (or Möbius) structure. This is in contrast to traditional planar aromatic systems, which follow Hückel's rule, stating that a cyclic compound is aromatic if it has \( 4n + 2 \) π electrons (where \( n \) is a non-negative integer).
