Structure-resonance theory for-molecular systems based solely on covalent Kekulé structures is justi-fied phenomenologically and by reference to recent theoretical work. The idea of antiaromaticity is shown to be a logical extension of the theory, and a concept of a local ring aromaticity or antiaromaticity is quantitatively defined. Estimates of resonance stabilization energies are substantially lower than predictions based on Hückel MO theory. The resonance theory results agree with those from SCF-LCAO-MO calculations.The recognition of extremely simple algorisms for counting Kekulé structures1 and their permutations induced us to test a semiempirical quantum theory with a basis of Kekulé structure functions. 2 345The mathematical equivalencies3-5 between Hückel molecular orbital (HMO) and valence bond (VB) theories for the ben-
