About polyhedrane “cages” and their doubtful supramolecular lodging capacity: a demonstration by the absurd and a plea for free expression in scientific journals
Polyhedral “cage” compounds such as cubane, adamantane, dodecahedrane, and their perfluorinated analogs, despite their appellation and standard representation, show little aptitude for supramolecular host–guest chemistry. The mere inspection of covalent and van der Waals atomic radii should convince...
