For essentially all compounds, the -contributions to the MCI are negligible and do not modify the conclusions (Table ), and thus, we consider the and -components combined. We explored for which compounds the MCI-components of the 3 n,* states are smaller (less aromatic) than in S0 (i.e., half of the total MCI value in S0), and for which compounds they are larger. The MCI-component will decrease to a very low value as it becomes antiaromatic, yet its antiaromatic character cannot be assessed as easily as the aromatic character of the MCI-component. The residual of the 3 n,* state is the combined MCI-and MCI-components (MCI( 3 n,*)tot) minus half the S0 value (MCI(S0)tot); for a nonaromatic 3 n,* state, the MCI( 3 n,*)tot should be close to half the total value in S0, provided that the MCI-component is nearly zero while the MCI-component remains as in S0. Moreover, we label the 3 n,* state to lean towards aromaticity if the MCI( 3 n,*)tot is at least 10% higher than half the MCI(S0)tot, and towards antiaromaticity if 10% lower.
