The antiaromatic 2,3‐di tert ‐butyl‐4‐mesityl axete 1 exists in the crystal only as the valence isomer 1A . The four‐membered ring has the structure of a distorted rectangle, and the interplanar angle between the aromatic and antiaromatic rings is 70°. The valence isomer 1B participates to at most 5% in an equilibrium ( 13 C NMR). In contrast, the bond lengths in the four‐membered ring are almost equal in the azete‐cobalt complex 2 because of electron delocalization.
