I'm not sure, but I think it has something in common with ciclohexadienes. Could it be synonymous with ciclohexadiene? Or a derivative of it?

Unfortunately, I failed to find out what the structure of semi-benzene is. But I find out that it is likely to be a radical like Albert draw but with 2 unpaired electrons in positions 1 and 4 or something like that. I hope it will help.  ;)

I was thinking about this semibenzene all day long and I come to a conclusion that it is unlikely to be a radical. Maybe it's an isomer of benzene like Duar's benzene?  >:(
Hong Luen, where did you find this semibenzene?  ???

P.S. I asked my tutor about this compound but he also failed to describe its structure.  :)

Ok, here is a new episode of this saga. I found this molecule which is a type of semibenzene.
I highlighted the ciclohexadiene part of the molecule.
I firmly believe there is a strong relationship in between semibenzenes and ciclohexadienes.

If it's a proposal then why not?
It's high time to get married!  ;)
