For the alkene system 1, the nodes in the plane of the molecule show up in the current density while the inter-lobal nodes do not. We have shown that it is possible to calculate the current density of the σ-and π-system separately. This separation meant that we were able to only focus on the πsystem almost without approximation of the current density. By focusing on the π-system, we were able to explain the nodal plane in the current density by the fact that all π-MOs have their nodal plane in the same place.
