Abstract
Chemists have been faced with benzenoid hydrocarbons and their derivatives from the earliest days of organic chemistry. These chemical compounds are usually insensitive, stable over long periods of time, available in large amounts and cheap. They can be easily purified and characterized and undergo well understood chemical reactions.
