Abstract (EN): Aromaticity is of continuing interest to the organic chemical community. We recently presented a model for the aromaticity of carbocyclic and heterocyclic derivatives of indane and indene, i.e. species defined as benzenes fused to 5-membered rings. The current note extends this model to related derivatives of tetralin and naphthalene, benzenes fused to 6-membered rings. Explicit species discussed herein are: benzopyran, both alpha- and beta-tetralone, coumarin and quinoline.
