Abstract
A criterion for thermochromism has been derived from ab initio DFT B3LYP/6-31G* calculations of the anti-folded, syn-folded and twisted conformations of thermochromic and non-thermochromic overcrowded bistricyclic aromatic enes (BAEs) 1-8: The thermochromic species is the twisted conformation, a necessary condition being a small energy difference, < 30 kJ mol-1, between the global minimum anti-folded and the thermochromic conformations.
