Putting pressure on aromaticity along with in situ experimental electron density of a molecular crystal

Aromatic compounds display enhanced stability due to delocalized π-bonding. Here, the authors study an aromatic, molecular crystal under pressure using x-ray diffraction and calculations, and observe a reduction in π-bond delocalization under increasing pressure.
