From recent accurate ab initio calculation on [N]phenylenes by Schulman and Disch, some regular patterns for bond alternation and energy increment can be found. We interpreted these results by considering a “unit cell” of interior benzene rings fused to two four‐membered rings in either linear or angular fashion. Our model works better in accounting for the structure than for the energy.
