Question

Anyone know anything about strain induced bond localization? I'll explain what very little I know haha.

Answer 1

Here's a three times annulated benzene, just means I put some rings on the outside with cyclopropenes. So does this cause the bonds within benzene to no longer all be the same length? This is called the Mills-Nixon effect.

Anyways I'm just curious about it.

Answer 2

This would be an interesting research: strain induced bond localization in aromatic compounds with extended \(\pi\) systems.

Answer 6

have you ever seen or heard of the \(\sf Mills-Nixon ~Effect\) ?
