The electronic structure of benzene in the presence of a high-intensity high-frequency circularly polarized laser supports a middle-of-the-ring electron localization. Here, the laser polarization coincides with the ring plane of benzene. The high-frequency oscillating electric field creates circular currents centered at each atom with a circle radius equal to the maximum field amplitude of the laser. All six carbons have six such rings.For a maximum field amplitude of 1.42 Å, which is the carbon-carbon bond distance, all six dynamic current circles intersect to create a deep vortex in the middle, which supports a bound state of a pair of electrons. Such states for benzene can be realized in experiments using a circularly polarized XUV-laser in a range of intensities 10 16 -10 17 W/cm 2 and frequencies 16 eV to 22 eV. Electronic dynamics calculations predict a minimal ionization of benzene when the rise-time of the laser pulse is sudden, indicating a possible experimental realization of these states characterized by a large cut-off in the harmonic generation spectra. This stable electronic structure of the light-dressed benzene is doubly-aromatic due to an extra aromaticity from a D 6h symmetric circular distortion of the σ-framework while the π-electrons, with low density in the ring-plane, are least affected.
