71. The concept of σ aromaticity in cyclopropane [30] has been challenged on the basis of results from spin-coupled (SC) theory: P. B. Karadakov, J. Garratt, D. L. Cooper, M. Raimondi, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 116, 7714. Their calculated SC theoretical description of cyclopropane does not involve any significant resonance, and they found no evidence in favor of σ aromaticity. However, the SC result has no direct consequences that affect the conclusions reported herein.
