Computed aromatic stabilization energies (ASEs) and dissected nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS蟺zz) quantify the effect of hyperconjugation on the (anti)aromaticities of the planar conformations of three, five, seven, and nine membered (CnHn)CR2 (R = H, SiH3, F) rings. CH2 and especially C(SiH3)2 groups supply two 鈥減seudo鈥?蟺 electrons hyperconjugatively along with the olefinic 蟺 electrons in the ring, whereas a CF2 group acts like a partially vacant p orbital. Following the H眉ckel rule, compounds with 4n+2 (or 4n) pseudo 蟺 electrons are 鈥渉yperconjugatively鈥?aromatic (or antiaromatic).
