Poly[n]prismanes: a family of stable cage structures with half-planar carbon centers

J Org Chem. 2003 Oct 31;68(22):8588-94. doi: 10.1021/jo034910l.

Abstract

A series of bi[n]prismanes and tri[n]prismanes (n = 3-6) containing n and 2n, respectively, tetracoordinated carbon centers with nonclassical bisphenoidal (half-planar) configuration has been designed computationally.
