To stabilize the twist a bianthraquinodimethane unit was introduced to cyclic conjugated molecules, resulting in the first Möbius type structures (shown). In their Full Paper on page 5434 ff., R. Herges et al. describe the synthesis and characterization of several annulene isomers and investigations into the energy, geometric, and magnetic parameters.
