Abstract
A novel approach to the theory of cyclic conjugation is proposed, which is free of some disadvantages of the previously used methods. It is shown that in the general case the effect of cyclic conjugation is an additive function of individual ring effects.
An expression for the effect of an individual ring on total π- electron energy is obtained. Some difficulties of the theory are pointed out.
