Cover Story: This review article aims to provide a clearer picture of the concepts of aromaticity and antiaromaticity, which are not defined in a simple way. It starts with a brief historical introduction to the development of the concept of aromaticity. Then, by analyzing selected examples from the literature, a distinction is made between descriptors based on intrinsic properties and response properties, and several methods for their quantification are described. Further discussion relates antiaromaticity to strained systems that are weakly stabilized by cyclic conjugation and distinguishes between antiaromaticity and non-aromaticity. The importance of excited state aromaticity and antiaromaticity is documented with examples related to chemistry, biology and molecular motors. Both concepts are shown to be characteristic of small rings. View this paper
