β¦ Synopsis
In contrast to recent claims by Rhodes and Glidewell, comparison of both ESR and electronic absorption spectra shows that the photoproduct of the recently characterized radical cation of bicyclo[ 3.3.0]octa-2,6-diene-4,8-diyl is identical to the 1,4dihydropentalene radical cation, i.e. a linear conjugated tautomer of the former produced by two hydrogen shifts. Ab initio calculation indicate that the tetracyclic diyl radical cation postulated by Rhodes and Glidewell is inaccessible under their experimental conditions (hvg2.2 eV).

According to the observations and data reported by Willstutter and Wuser [4], rather pure COT may have been obtained in their first attempt to synthesize this compound. Note also that independent from Cope and Hochstein [l], Ziegler and Wilms [3b] carefully separated the products obtained by reducti
