## Abstract The influence of small rings annulated to aromatic rings is usually additive. However, in some systems the behavior is nonadditive, for example, in tricarbonyliron‐cyclobutadienobenzene versus tris(tricarbonylironcyclobutadieno)benzene. A study of dimethylenecyclobutabenzene, 1,3‐bis(di

Abstract
In π systems with localized double bonds, the switch from one localization pattern to another symmetry‐equivalent one, and the corresponding changes in electron distribution are often considered to proceed via a delocalized transition state of higher symmetry. We present a different mechanism, according to which the double‐bond localization and the concomitant charge distributions can fluctuate without change in energy and without passing through a delocalized, higher‐symmetry transition state. This result is obtained within a simple, independent‐electron (HMO‐type) treatment.
