Abstract

(Figure Presented) At long last, the elusive thermodynamically most stable isomer of C₇₁,H₂ (see structure) has been synthesized through the addition of CH₂ across an equatorial bond Of C ₇₀: a site at which sucha reaction is not kinetically favorable. Theoretical studies revealed that the pyrogenic synthetic method used enables reactants to overcome the higher activation barrier to equatorial addition.
