Abstract

Oxidation of 3, 6-disubstituted tetrabenzo [5.5] fulvalenes by SbF5 results in the formation of dications that behave like two antiaromatic fluorenyl cations connected by a single bond. Both fluorenyl systems exhibit the paratropic shifts and nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS) characteristic of antiaromatic species. Comparison with analogous 2, 7-disubstituted tetrabenzo [5.5] fulvalenes reveals that the antiaromaticity of the substituted ring system ...
