An explanation for the exceptional stability of benzene is conventionally attributed to Sir Robert Robinson, who was apparently the first (in 1925) to coin the term aromatic sextet as a group of six electrons that resists disruption.
Zasluge za objašnjavanje izuzetne stabilnosti benzena se konvencionalno pripisuju Ser Robertu Robinsonu, koji je prvi (1925. godine) skovao termin aromatični sekstet za grupu od šest elektrona otpornih na poremećaje.
