Abstract

After a brief discussion of the notion of molecular topology and the analogy principle as related to topology/reactivity relationships more recent developments in the field of reactivity indices for polynuclear benzenoid hydrocarbons are reviewed. Reaction mechanisms and correlations of reactivity indices with rates of electrophilic substitution and Diels-Alder reactions, thermally induced polymerization, and biochemical transformations of benzenoid hydrocarbons are discussed.
