29. 3,7]octa-2,6-diene to semibullvalene at 25 °C, (23a, 23b) the very high heat of hydrogenation of the π bond in bicyclo[2.1.1]hex-2-ene, (23c, 23d) and the manner in which annelation by 1,3-bridged cyclobutane rings causes the double bonds in benzene, (23e-23g) cyclooctatetraene, (23h, 23i) and naphthalene (23j) to localize can all be attributed to this type of destabilizing interaction between the filled π orbital of ethylene and a filled orbital of a cyclobutane ring that is 1,3-bridged by a double bond. The long wavelength UV/vis absorptions seen in molecules containing a cyclobutane ring that is 1,3-bridged by ethylene (24a-24d) have been attributed to the same type of interaction between occupied orbitals of the ring and of the unsaturated bridge.
