The Hückel method or Hückel molecular orbital theory, proposed by Erich Hückel in 1930, is a very simple linear combination of atomic orbitals molecular orbitals method for the determination of energies of molecular orbitals of π-electrons in π-delocalized molecules, such as ethylene, benzene, butadiene, and pyridine. It is the theoretical basis for Hückel's rule for the aromaticity of π-electron cyclic, planar systems. It was later extended to conjugated molecules such as pyridine, pyrrole and furan that contain atoms other than carbon, known in this context as heteroatoms. A more dramatic extension of the method to include σ-electrons, known as the extended Hückel method (EHM), was developed by Roald Hoffmann. The extended Hückel method gives some degree of quantitative accuracy for org
