Dodecahedrane—The chemical transliteration of Plato's universe (A Review)
AUTOR(ES)
Paquette, Leo A.
RESUMO
The development of chemical interest in three of Plato's five convex polyhedra is described from an historical perspective. The successful synthesis of 1,16-dimethyldodecahedrane and its structural characteristics are outlined. Finally, an account of recent work leading to the still more aesthetically appealing and ultrasymmetric parent dodecahedrane is given.
