The perturbational molecular orbital theory by Haddon suggested the interesting possibility that introduction of homoconjugate linkages as a perturbation of the parent phenalenyl systems at 1,2‐, 1,10‐, and 10,11‐positions leads to the most unfavorable, medium, and most favorable energy changes, respectively. In order to prove this prediction, formation of 1,2‐, 1,10‐, and 10,11 ‐homophenalenyl systems were examined by employing the possible precursors such as the ketone 5,29, the alcohol 8, as well as the hydrocarbons 16, 22, and 37. In contrast to the prediction by PMO theory, these systems have no homoaromatic stabilization even in the 10,11 ‐homophenalenyl cation and anion. In further extension of this study, the synthesis of the hitherto unknown parent 8,16‐methano[2.2]metacyclophane‐1,9‐diene 45 has been achieved recently.
