Thanks for doing this calculation!

Now, is there anyone out there who would like to try a synthesis? My prediction is that as a non-classical bis-homoaromatic, the colour will be purple.

To my mind, NICS crirerion support some aromaticity of the nonclassical structure of di-cyano-diaza derivative.
