1. Benzene Structure and Aromatic Stability | 苯的结构与芳香稳定性
ecule with six carbon atoms arranged in a regular hexagon. The six π electrons are delocalised in a ring above and below the plane, giving bond lengths that are intermediate between C– benzene much more stable than the hypothetical cyclohexatriene structure. The enthalpy change of hydrogenation is less exothermic than expected by about 152 kJ mol⁻¹, and this stabilisation energy is called the resonance energy of benzene.
苯（C₆H₆）是一个平面环状分子，六个碳原子排列成正六边形。六个π电子在平面上下形成离域环，使碳碳键长介于C–C和C=C之间。这种离域使苯比假想的环己三烯结构稳定得多。苯的加氢焓变比预期少放热约152 kJ mol⁻¹，这部分稳定化能称为苯的共振能。
Because the π electron cloud is spread over all six carbon atoms, benzene does not readily undergo addition reactions. Addition would disrupt the stable delocalised ring. Instead, benzene undergoes electrophilic substitution, where an electrophile replaces a hydrogen atom and the aromatic ring is preserved.
由于π电子云分布在全部六个碳原子上，苯不容易发生加成反应。加成会破坏稳定的离域环。相反，苯发生亲电取代反应，由亲电试剂取代氢原子，同时保留芳香环。
2. Electrophilic Substitution of Benzene | 苯的亲电取代反应
The most important reactions of benzene are nitration, halogenation, alkylation and acylation. All proceed by the same general mechanism: generation of a strong electrophile, attack by the π cloud to form a carbocation intermediate, and loss of H⁺ to restore the aromatic system. The intermediate is often called a Wheland intermediate or arenium ion.
苯最重要的反应是硝化、卤化、烷基化和酰基化。所有这些反应都遵循相同的通用机理：生成强亲电试剂、π电子云进攻形成碳正离子中间体、失去H⁺恢复芳香体系。该中间体常称为Wheland中间体或芳基正离子。
