This term has inconsistently been used to mean cyclohepta-1,3,5-trienes or to mean cyclohepta-1,3,5-trienes in dynamic equilibrium with bicyclo-[4.1.0]hepta-2,4-
dienes, so that the structure of the bulk substance is indeterminate in the time scale of the method of observation. Use of this term is therefore discouraged.
