IncludeAromaticBonds
is an option for Molecule that specifies whether aromatic bonds should be detected and labeled.
Details
- When IncludeAromaticBonds is True, molecular rings that satisfy Hückel's rule will have their bonds marked as "Aromatic".
- When the option is set to False, aromaticity perception is disabled and any bonds marked "Aromatic" are converted to their delocalized form.
Examples
Basic Examples (2)
Create a molecule representing benzene:
Molecule["benzene"]The carbon-carbon bonds are listed explicitly as "Aromatic":
BondList[%]Create a molecule representing benzene without aromatic bonds:
Molecule["benzene", IncludeAromaticBonds -> False]The bonds are all either "Single" or "Double":
