47. The cavity diameter ρ is defined as the distance between the centers of a benzene and cyclooctatetraene ring opposite each other (for uneven numbers of n) or the distance between the centers of two benzene rings opposite each other (for even numbers of n), which in the latter case is smaller than the distance between the centers of two cyclooctatetraene moieties.
48. Calculation of the energy difference between the corresponding fragments F3 and F2 gives the same result. From the two different conformers possible for F2, the one with a bending of the cyclooctatetraene units in a circlewise manner was chosen.

53. 7) essentially yielded the same result. Thus, the significantly negative values of NICS 0/0/0 seem to stem from the proximity of the benzene subunits and do not indicate a diatropic ring current around the belt.
