Hückel (4n+ 2) π-electron annulenes comprise the most basic family of aromatic compounds. 1 In their idealized structures, all the p-orbitals are perpendicular to the ring planes. However, angle strain and steric effects result in a variety of configurational preferences and may even preclude planar arrangements. 1, 2 We now present computational results on a new class of (CH) n Hückel annulenes which have uniform shapes, zigzag (trans) carbon rings, and inward-pointing p-orbitals. These “trannulenes” extend the concept of aromaticity and antiaromaticity to unconventional topologies.
