that have 6n + 2 total -electron counts. Yet, will similar bicyclic cages as 1 and 1 6+ exhibit aromatic character also when n ≠ m and/or k? If the tether lengths are just slightly different, e.g., k = l + 1 = m + 1, then the -electron count is not a 6n + 2 number, although, the structure should still allow for strong -conjugation and Hückel-aromaticity in the three individual macrocyclic paths. Now, if these latter species are calculated to be aromatic, that will disprove that 1 and 1 6+ are 3D-aromatics. These two species would instead be three times locally 2D
