The conformational inversion of 2,3:6,7-dibenzo-derivatives of cycloheptatriene, tropone, heptafulvene, oxepin, thiepin, and azepin

Abstract
Comparison of the energy barriers to conformational inversion of the seven-membered rings in compounds of the types (I) and (II) shows that the change in delocalisation energy associated with the planar seven-membered rings is apparently due to increased Ar–CC–Ar and Ar–X–Ar conjugation, and is not a special property of the cyclic conjugated system.
