( 3 2 2+ ) can be described as having one 33-electron cycle in the perimeter and one 25-electron circuit in one of the individual macrocycles. Based on the conceptual theory above, we instead reason that 3 2 2+ is a distorted expanded naphthalene dication which is triplet state 2D-Bairdaromatic in the conventional sense. The naphthalene dication in its triplet state ( 3 4 2+ ) is described by three Baird-aromatic resonance structures; two with 4-electron circuits in either of the hexagons and one with an 8-electron perimeter (Figure and). Upon distortion leading to 3 5 2+ the two 4-electron cycles become inequivalent; one remains unaltered while the other is weakened (Figure ). Similarly, 3 2 2+ should be described primarily by two conventional 4n-electron Baird-aromatic resonance structures; one with a 32 -electron perimetric circuit and one with a 24-electron circuit in one of the two macromonocycles (Figure ). The weakened cyclic conjugation in the ring with two Si atoms is also apparent in the EDDB plot.
