The syntheses of trans-15, 16-dimethyl-1 2 and trans-it, l 6-diethy ldihy dropyrene3 by Boekelheide, 2-8 Phil-lips, 2 and Miyasaka3constitute a very interesting test of the Hiickel theory of aromaticity. These unique molecules (1, R= CH3 or C2H5) bear substituents which are contained completely within the cavity generated by the planar 14-x-electron periphery. The physical and chemical properties of thesemolecules provide strong support for the Hückel theory, which predicts that (4±· 2) x electrons of an aromatic ring form a doughnut-shaped cloud above and below the plane of the ring. The center of such ax cloud then might be empty space, and these molecules present a special opportunity to examine the effect ofsubstituent groups within a x-electron system on the x cloud, and vice versa.
