Abstract
The remarkable thermal stability of the highly strained cubane molecule presumably reflects the constraints of the Woodward-Hoffniann orbital symmetry conservation rules,* according to which the rearrangements represented by eq 1 and 2 are thermally" forbidden." The role of transition metals in catalyzing such symmetry-restricted processes is a subject of great current interest, and our results have an important bearing upon the interpretation of ...
