Abstract

Benzenoid molecules possessing bays are traditionally considered as ‘strain-free’. Yet, repulsion between the two bay H-atoms affects the length of the near-lying carbon–carbon bonds. A method is developed to estimate the energy of this strain. In the case of phenanthrene its value was found to be about 7kJ/mol.
