The dimers 5a and 5b were observed and isolated at an early stage during the polymerization of dicycloproparene 1.* The ladder polymer formed by treating the linearly fused dicyclopropanthracene 2 with silver ion in chloroform was characterized by solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The insoluble dimer of 2 could not be isolated.* *Please refer to dissertation for diagrams. application/pdf eng Copyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
