33. A small amount of abnormal 1:2 adduct, [4-(9-acridinyl)-9-(1-naphthyl) acridine], was also isolated, which would be produced via the intramolecular lithium transfer from the 8-position of naphthalene unit to the 4-position of acridine unit in the intermediate.

47. Previously observed value in A [1.670(3) (Ref. 10a)] is slightly smaller than that in 1. Typical values for the dispiro-type HPEs with a 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene skeleton are in the range of 1.61-1.65 Å (Ref. 10a). On the other hand, several 1,1,2,2-tetraarylbenzocyclobutenes exhibit longer bond lengths (1.71-1.73 Å) than the present molecule (Ref. c,d,e,f)
