Resumen
The shielding cone concept is one of the most characteristic aspects of planar aromatic species. Herein, we explored how two neighbor aromatic moieties behave as dual planar-planar, planar-spherical, and spherical-spherical species given by biphenyl, [PhCB11H11]−, and [CB11H11]22−, respectively. Our results show two separate aromatic regimes given by Clar's sextet and spherical aromatic states, with independent shielding cones sharing shielding regions of moderate strength, which can be extended for networks involving multiple independent aromatic states. © 2020 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
