TL;DR: Perhydroquinacene, a building unit of the unknown hydrocarbon dodecahedrane, has a gas-phase enthalpy of formation of -102·39 ± 3·60 kJ mol−1, suggesting that the strain energy of the building unit should be considerably lower than that predicted by the Allinger empirical force field method as discussed by the authors.
