Abstract
A new approach to the Clar aromatic sextet theory of benzenoid hydrocarbons
is put forward, in which the circles in the Clar structural formulas are v
iewed as hyperedges of the respective molecular hypergraph. The distance-ba
sed topological indices of the graph- and hypergraph-representation of a be
nzenoid hydrocarbon differ significantly. The basic rules governing these d
ifferences are established.
