Verbotene Reaktionen. — [2 + 2]-Cycloreversion starrer Cyclobutane
William Von E. Doering,Wolfgang R. Roth,Rolf Breuckmann,Lutz Figge,Hans‐Werner Lennartz,Wolf-Dieter Fessner,Horst Prinzbach +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermochemical analysis of cyclobutane derivatives, severely restrained from generating noninteractive 1,4-diradicals, is examined thermochemically to provide quantitative evidence to support a forbidden-concerted, antiaromatic mechanism for cyclorevision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Putting Helium Inside Dodecahedrane
TL;DR: By shooting a beam of helium ions at a continuously deposited surface of dodecahdrane, C20H20, this paper incorporated a helium atom into the molecular cage, where it remains trapped.
Journal ArticleDOI
From an Insecticide to Plato's Universe—The Pagodane Route to Dodecahedranes: New Pathways and New Perspectives
Horst Prinzbach,Klaus Weber +1 more
TL;DR: The original concept for the synthesis of pentagonal dodecahedranes by the conversion of structurally similar, high-energy pagodanes relied on catalytic dehydrocyclization as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
C20 Carbon Clusters: Fullerene–Boat–Sheet Generation, Mass Selection, Photoelectron Characterization
Horst Prinzbach,Fabian Wahl,Andreas Weiler,Peter Landenberger,Jürgen Wörth,Lawrence T. Scott,Marc Gelmont,Daniela Olevano,Frank Sommer,Bernd von Issendorff +9 more
TL;DR: The extremely strained C(20) fullerene ions surfaced as kinetically rather stable entities (lifetime of at least the total flight time of 0.4 ms); they only very sluggishly expel a C(2) unit.
