Subject: CCL: Aromaticity, pi and sigma?

Dear CCL:

I saw some time ago a paper with a theoretical analysis of the origin of 
"aromaticity" in benzene (and possibly other species), concluding that the 
so-called aromatic stability originated from the sigma-system rather than the 
pi-system.  However, I cannot trace the original reference.  Anybody knows it?  
Have additional work been published in this field?

Yours, Jens >--<
