The first representative of the tridehydrobenzenes that could be spectroscopically characterized and isolated in cryogenic matrices is 1,2,3-tridehydrobenzene. Comparison of the measured IR spectrum with high-level ab initio calculations allows the assignment of a 2A1 ground state to this unusual radical.
