Abstract

Earlier studies showed that the intensity of cyclic conjugation in the central ring R of perylene
can be significantly altered by means of benzo-annelation. In particular, linear (resp. angular) benzoannelation
was found to decrease (resp. increase) the intensity of cyclic conjugation in R .We now examine
the analogous effect of benzocyclobutadieno-annelation, and show that linear annelation strongly increases
the cyclic conjugation in R, whereas the effect of angular annelation is negligibly small.
