Exchange Interactions in Crystalline Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Abstract
Exchange interactions between C–H bonds as situated in aromatic crystalline hydrocarbons are calculated using molecular orbitals constructed using a Slater basis set. The results are compared to those calculated by other authors. It is concluded that the use of the empirical formula Bexp(− CR) with constants defined by Rae and Mason [Proc. Roy. Soc. (London) A304, 487 (1968)] is reasonable for exchange between C–H bonds. The interaction of a C–H bond with π systems is also concluded to be important.
