title: On the origin of the alternating Diels-Alder reactivity in [n]dendralenes.
abstract: G4(MP2) calculations on Diels-Alder reactions of [3]- and [4]dendralene have revealed that reactant dendralene conformer populations and closed-shell singlet bis-pericyclic transition states explain their different reactivities.
