An extremely long CC single bond of 1.713 Å is found in the [2+2] cycloadduct of ortho ‐didehydrobenzene and tetradehydrodianthracene. The force constant of this central bond is reduced to only 30% of that of the CC bond in ethane. The corresponding CC stretching vibration (687 cm −1 ) in the Raman spectrum is red‐shifted 300 cm −1 relative to the bands of “normal” hydrocarbons.
