Notes:
Cyclotetradeca-1,3,8,10-tetrayne (3) and cyclohexadeca-1,3,9,11-tetrayne (4) have been prepared according to Sondheimer et al. The X-ray crystal structures of 3 and 4 reveal them to be in the chair conformation (3) and the twisted chair-chair-conformation (4). The tetrayne units in both molecules deviate considerably from linearity, giving rise to transannular distances of the terminal sp centers of 3.098(2) Å (3) and 4.147(2), 4.196(2) Å (4), and 3.390(2) Å (3) and 4.251(2), 4.252(2) Å (4) for the central sp atoms, respectively.
