Abstract
Density functional molecular orbital calculations are used to show the existence of two non-cubic isomeric structures of cubane and nitrated cubane. The isomers are shown to have no imaginary frequencies and are thus at a minimum on the potential energy surface. The calculations indicate the isomers are slightly more stable than the cubic structures.
