Abstract
The aromatic behavior of three membered ring compounds has been analyzed by mean of GAUSSIAN94 theoretical calculations at B3LYP//6-311 + + G(2d,p) le vel. Diamagnetic exaltation values obtained from magnetic susceptibilities as well as NICS show the expected aromatic character of the cyclopropyl cat ion, but the correspondent anion also shows aromatic behavior. This unexpec ted result is analyzed as well as the character of the other three membered ring derivatives. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
