A novel approach to the evaluation of Hückel and Möbius transition states is described. It employs incipient π-bond orders, ^op_i,k and *p_i,k. A complete analytical scheme is developed for monocyclic p-orbital arrays in both Hückel and Möbius transition states for both thermal and photochemical reactions. Assessment of monocyclic transition states does not require the calculation of explicit incipient π-bond orders. Transition states featuring polycyclic p-orbital arrays may be assessed by means of calculated ^op_i,k and *p_i,k values. A more detailed presentation is available in the Accessory Publication.
