Abstract
Julg's classical formula for aromaticity is updated so as to involve bond i ndices. A simple CNDO/2 calculation is shown to account satisfactorily for heterocyclic typical rings and other miscellaneous systems. Results are com pared with a multicenter NIO bond index recently introduced as an aromatici ty measure.
