Semi-empirical molecular orbital treatment at the level of PM3 type calcula
tions was performed on the Huckel type monoazacyclacenes having nitrogen at

stabilizing. Monoazacyclacenes, as their parent cyclacenes, exhibit the fi
rst order cryptoannulenic effect. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
