Popis: | Molecular orbital electronic structure calculations for twelve polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons were performed by the samo method. Results indicate that the carcinogenicity of such aromatic hydrocarbons is related to a K-region π-bond order greater than 0.340. There is no correlation with δ-bond order or overall charge density, perhaps accounting for the success of earlier theoretical treatments based on the π-electron model. Exceptions to a simple K-region treatment are discussed in terms of other models for carcinogenic activity. |
