The photoelectron (PE.) spectra of 1,2,3‐methenoindane ( 2 ), 1,2,3‐metheno‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H ‐cyclopenta [ b ]naphthalene ( 3 ) and 1,2,3‐metheno‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H ‐phenalene ( 4 ) are investigated. The PE. spectrum of 1,3‐methano‐2,3‐dihydrophenalene ( 7 ) is reported and compared with that of 4 . The experimental results are analyzed in terms of empirical correlation diagrams and the results of semiempirical MINDO/3 and CNDO/S calculations. The analysis indicates that the strong impact of the bicyclobutylene group on the spectroscopic properties of the aromatic π‐systems in 2 , 3 and 4 is due to hyperconjugative interactions involving bicyclobutane Walsh orbitals.
