Cyclooctatetraene

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Cyclooctatetraene $(C_8H_8)$ is a non-planar molecule that adopts a 'tub' shape to avoid anti-aromaticity. Due to this non-planar geometry,the conjugation is interrupted,and it possesses alternating single and double bonds,resulting in two different $C-C$ bond lengths. In contrast,benzene,the cyclopropenyl cation,and the allyl cation $(CH_2=CH-CH_2^{\oplus})$ exhibit resonance,which leads to delocalization of electrons and equalized $C-C$ bond lengths.

Which of the following compounds has two different $C-C$ bond lengths?
