If the end-groups of the [5]cumulene are rotated away from the co-planar orientation of the ground-state structure into 60 • orientation, the total current is increased as the HOMO-LUMO gap narrows. Unidirectional ring currents appear around the ring, and the magnetic field is in the mT range and points along the carbon chain. We note that while the current is enhanced with a factor ∼ 5 by this manipulation of the structure, the magnetic field is increased by a factor ∼ 17, which underlines the effect of the ring current.
