Chapter 17, Problem 17.52P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The pattern of molecular orbitals in cyclonona-1,3,5,7-tetraene, using the inscribed polygon method is to be shown and its cation, radical, and anion are to be labeled as aromatic, antiaromatic, or not aromatic.

Concept introduction: The inscribed polygon method is helpful to predict whether a compound involves completely filled bonding MOs or not. The all bonding MOs, and the HOMOs of an aromatic compound are completely filled. However, the antibonding MOs are completely vacant.
