  The Movement of Two Parallel Unpaired Electrons in Benzene and Aromatic Compounds
  Author(s): Dr. Chun Wang*
  
  This year marks the 200th anniversary of Faraday's discovery of benzene, which is stable compared to other hydrocarbons. As we all know, Faraday made a huge contribution to electromagnetism. Coincidentally, benzene owes its special stability to the ring’s electric current and magnetic field. The oscillating hexagonal structure of benzene proposed by Kekulé 160 years ago is the most reasonable structural formula so far, which can be confirmed by modern infrared spectroscopy of the ring mode. However, the formation of the ring current and magnetic field has not been explained properly up to now. The problem lies in not having a correct understanding of the structure of the double bond. Nuclear magnetic resonance has long confirmed that a double bond contains two unpaired electrons with parallel spins moving in two π-orbits separated by a covalent σ-bo.. Read More»
