Abstract
For the ground state of the Hückel aromatic ring 1,6-methano[10]annulene (MA) both a localized and a delocalized structure have been proposed in the past, depending on the theoretical methods used. A high-resolution electronic spectrum in a supersonic jet unambiguously shows that isolated, ultracold MA has a delocalized structure in its S0 ground state as well as in its S1 excited state.Entities:
