Abstract
An edge subset of a connected graph is called an anti-Kekul\'{e} set if is connected and has no perfect matching. We can see that a connected graph has no anti-Kekul\'{e} set if and only if each spanning tree of has a perfect matching. In this paper, by applying Tutte's 1-factor theorem and structure of minimally 2-connected graphs, we characterize all graphs whose each spanning tree has a perfect matching In addition, we show that if is a connected graph of order for a positive integer and size whose each spanning tree has a perfect matching, then , with equality if and only if .
