Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation One naturally occurring arylalkanone was new.
- Observation The arylalkanones had geometrical features comparable to malabaricones.
- Observation Malabaricones had similar HOMO–LUMO energy gaps.
- Observation The HOMO–LUMO gap widened progressively among arylalkanone derivatives.
- Observation Oxygen atoms were the principal electron-rich sites in both compound series.
- Observation Arylalkanones showed greater charge polarisation and sensitivity to structural substitution.
