The X-ray determined structure of the title compound is reported; it was found that the annelated bonds are the longest observed in a benzene derivative [1.540(5) A]; ab initio calculations (at the B3LYP/6-31G* and MP2/6-31G* levels of theory) were used in order to understand the electronic and structural properties of the compound.
