The structure of 1,2‐benzyne (I) has been optimized with respect to its total molecular energy using the MINDO/2 SCF‐procedure. The results indicate a bond length of ∼1.26 Å for the strained triple bond. The overall geometry suggests that I possesses considerable resonance energy. The calculated heat of formation (Δ Hf (I) = 107 kcal/mole) is in good agreement with an estimate from mass spectrometric studies (Δ Hf exp (I) = 118 ± 5 kcal/mole). From model calculations for bent acetylene the strain energy of I is estimated to be about 60 kcl/mole. Some chemical reactions of I are discussed in the light of the results.
