The concept of “special stability” in aromatic hydrocarbons is covered in Peter J. Garratt, Aromaticity, 2nd ed. (1986). Industrial organic chemicals and the processes by which they are prepared are described in H. Harry Szmant, Organic Building Blocks of the Chemical Industry (1989). Stanley R. Sandler and Wolf Karo, Polymer Syntheses, 2nd ed., vol. 1 (1992), presents information on techniques of hydrocarbon polymerization.
