A potential tetraradicaloid hydrocarbon was synthesized by Y. Tobe and co‐workers. As described in their Communication on page 2090 ff., the tetramesityl derivative of tetracyclopenta[ def , jkl , pqr , vwx ]tetraphenylene exhibited remarkable antiaromaticity and a small HOMO–LUMO gap. In solution and in the crystal, the compound exists in the close‐shell D 2 h form rather than in the open‐shell D 4 h form, in accordance with theoretical calculations.
