Five Regioisomers of Dimethyl Dodecahedrane Derivatives: A Hybrid DFT B3LYP Study by Seol Lee, YongJae Cho, Kee Hag Lee

“…From the direct dimethyl substitution of the dodecahedrane cage, we could have five C20H18(CH3)2 derivatives which were geometrically optimized without constraints. The results suggest that 1,16-dimethyl dodecahedrane derivative is the most stable, whereas the 1,2-dimethyl derivative is the most unstable; this implies that the distortion due to steric hindrance interactions would be a crucial effect on the relative energies of the dimethyl dodecahedranes. …”
