Hello


Is it possible to draw a circle in a cyclohexane? For an example you can look on http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Benzol2.png


I want a circle in a ring.





thx Bones





Sorry for my bad English

Yes. Convert all the bonds in the ring to aromatic bonds. The circle will appear.





Works for five-membered heterocycles, too.

Thanks a lot!

Perhaps an easier way to do it is to draw benzene and then choose Edit -> Bonds -> Aromatize.

When I aromatize cyclopentadienide(-), the - symbol appears on one of the C atoms. Really, it should appear in the middle of the circle. Having it appear on one of the C atoms violates valence rules and suggests a localized charge, which is not the case here.





The same is true of tropylium, which should have a + charge in the center.

Yes, it is related to the other question you just asked: we are on it, dative and multicenter bonds will appear in 4.2. They are already under development - it is possible now to draw ferrocenes, but good point to assign the charge to the whole ring, not to an atom only. Multicenter bonds will be connected to a set of atoms, hoping solving most of the problems related to coordinated bonds.
