Abstract
The deformation density and potential have been determined in molecular crystals of tricyclo[4.4.1.0^1,6^]ndecaβ2,4,7,9βtetraeneβ11,11βdicarbonitrile at 150 K from Xβray diffraction measurements. A significant degformation density peak is found near the midβpoind of the the transannular bond. The four short bonds in the annuelene ring acquire slightly more residual density compared to the other bonds, confirming the bisnorcaradienic character of the molecule. Similar trends are noted in the deformation electrostatic potential maps.

An unusual C-C bond length (1.81 A) is observed in a derivative of [ 101 annulrne; a possibility of cocsistence of two different isomers in the same crystal structure is definitely ruled out by a lattice-dynamical analysis of thermal motion.
