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 Garg Mar 31 '19 at 13:52

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

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