Abstract

It is not only because of their ‘beauty’ but also because of their special properties that cyclic molecules have been attracting the special interest of chemists for a long time. The most ‘beautiful’ molecules incorporating cyclic structures might be the ‘platonic hydrocarbons’ such as the cubane 1, the tetrahedrane 2 and the dodecahedrane 3 system.1
