The McClelland approximation and the distribution of π-electron molecular orbital energy levels

The total π-electron energy E of a conjugated hydrocarbon with n carbon atoms and m carbon-carbon bonds can be approximately calculated by means of the McClelland formula E ≈ g 2mn, where g is an empirical fitting constant, g ≈ 0.9. It was claimed that the good quality of the McClelland approximatio...
