The relative ease of topomerization is dependent on the charge distribution and planarity of the ground state and the transition state of 9-membered rings as well as the size and electronegativity of halogen substituent. Consequently, the endo-2-halo-[9] annulen anion topomers become unstable and easily convert to related exo-topomers.
