Abstract
Infrared spectra recorded for 1,5-dimethyl-2,8:4,6- semibullvalenetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (12) in the condensed and vapor phase clearly prove that in the vapor phase the dianhydride 12 is a homoaromatic ground state semibullvalene. The bisannelated semibullvalene depicted is demonstrated to be a ground-state-neutral homoaromatic carbocycle through vapor-phase infrared spectroscopy. © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
