Abstract
Flash Vacuum Thermolysis (FVT) of biphenylene (1) and of diphenic anhy dride (2) at 900-degrees-C gave acenaphtylene (10), exo- and 10,10a-te trahydro-as-indaceno[1,8-jkl]fluoranthene (11) in high yield. The isol ation of compound 11 provides evidence for the occurrence of the anti- aromatic as-indacene (8) on the C12H8 potential energy surface
