I am well aware that the following compound is non-planar and hence, will not be anti-aromatic but non-aromatic.
But I wonder whether resonance will occur to some extent i.e. whether any three consecutive parallel p orbitals will lie in the same plane or not?

$\begingroup$ This can't show aromaticity as it doesn't obey huckel's rule you can think of non planarity as a measure so as to prevent anti aromaticity then why would it even planarize $\endgroup$– Aditya GargMar 31 '19 at 13:52

$\begingroup$ Aree why would it if resonance would destabilize it $\endgroup$– Aditya GargMar 31 '19 at 13:58

$\begingroup$ With this logic, there should exist no anti-aromatic compound. $\endgroup$– Rajat SansaniwalMar 31 '19 at 13:59

$\begingroup$ If molecule is planar resonance will happen aromatic or anti-arometic , it doesn't matter. If non-planar than no $\endgroup$– Harsh jainFeb 6 '20 at 14:42
