Bergman cyclization of sterically hindered substrates and observation of phenyl-shifted products
Lewis, Kevin D.,Matzger, Adam J.
, p. 9968 - 9969 (2005)
Heating 1,2-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene in the presence of 1,4-cyclohexadiene at temperatures ranging from 260 to 360 °C yielded the expected Bergman product, 2,3-diphenylnaphthalene, as only a minor product (3 radicals. However, these transformations are relevant in solution chemistry as well as in more extreme environments such as those encountered during combustion, pyrolysis, and electric discharge heating.

Electron-transfer induced valence isomerization of 1,2-distyrylbenzene
Bohm,Mullen
, p. 611 - 614 (2007/10/02)
Upon electron transfer 1,2-distyrylbenzene 2 undergoes a valence isomerization giving rise to an indane derivative. This process is controlled by the ion-pair structures of the anionic intermediates and differs from the photochemically induced rearrangeme
