Schematic representation of Steiner and Fowler’s rule for 6π-aromatic systems and their radical ions. Red and blue arrows represent electrons and electronic transitions between the occupied and the virtual MOs. The number of nodal planes in the π system, perpendicular to the ring plane of the molecules, are written next to the energy levels.
