The binding energy of a hydrogen atom of a certain hydrogenated state of protaned quinoline and neutral naphthalene. n corresponds to the total number of hydrogen atoms attached to the PAH and Ebind is calculated according to Eq. (1). The binding energies correspond to the lowest energy route of hydrogenation found. A clear odd-even pattern is clear for both molecules.
