Popis: 2,3-Benzobiphenylene was prepared by a synthetic route starting with α,α,α′,α′-tetrabromo orthoxylene. Its electronic absorption, fluorescence, delayed emission, and fluorescence polarization spectra were experimentally characterized. A semi-empirical SCF-MO-CI method was used to calculate properties associated with the transitions. With the aid of the computation the electronic transitions of 2,3-benzobiphenylene are assigned. A table of ground and excited state bond orders was compiled. Electron densities for filled and unfilled MO's were generated and are presented schematically. By comparison of theory and experiment, 2,3-benzobiphenylene is characterized as a single aromatic system that contains an essentially aromatic four-membered cyclobutadiene ring.
