Energetics of Baird aromaticity supported by inversion of photoexcited chiral [4n]annulene derivatives

Baird’s rule applies to cyclic π-conjugated molecules in their excited state, yet a quantification of the involved energetics is elusive. Here, the authors show the ring inversion kinetics of two nonplanar and chiral [4n]annulenes to support Baird’s rule from an energetic point of view.
