Is azulene's local aromaticity and relative stability driven by the Glidewell–Lloyd rule?

Abstract

The local aromaticity of azulene has been studied to understand this compound's electronic properties. For this purpose, we have used the magnetic criterion through magnetically induced current density maps, ring...

The Glidewell–Lloyd rule explains the local aromaticity and the relative stability of benzoborepin isomers

“…This rule has recently been validated in a series of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and also in heteroaromatic compounds such as indole and its isomers, where the GLR rule was used to relate the local aromaticity of these compounds to their relative stability. 10–14…”
