Notes:
The experimental data on a series of 11,11-disubstituted methane-[10]annulenes and 11,11-disubstituted tricyclo[4,4,1,01,6]undeca-2,4,7,9-tetraenes allow the estimation of the molecular geometry along the ring closure reaction path for the parent hydrocarbon. Ab initio calculations of the energy as a function of the reaction coordinate indicate the existence of two minima corresponding to the open and closed structures.
