Abstract. Proton affinities are calculated at all reactive positions for the normal benzenoid hydrocarbons, benzene, naphthalene, phenanthrene and anthracene, a strained benzenoid hydrocarbon, biphenylene, and a nonalternant hydrocarbon, fluoranthene, and the results are compared to experimental protodetritiation rates. Methods used include PM3 and Hartree-Fock calculations at the STO-3G, 3-21G*, 6-31G* and MP2//6-31G* levels. Generally good agreement is found between theory and experiment with 6-31G* giving the best correlations.
