Volume Change during Thermal [4 + 4] Cycloaddition of [2.2] (9,10)Anthracenophane.

We show that the reaction path connecting the tethered bi(anthracene-9,10-dimethylene) and its photodimer proceeds stepwise via a diradicaloid transition state where one s-bond is made before a second. The newly found transition state (TS) has a smaller molecular volume than either the reactant or t...
