Abstract
It is shown that a theoretical compulation of the Dewar resonance ener gy of decamethyl [5] pericyclyne should give the same value for the ho moaromaticity of this compound as that calculated earlier from heat of hydrogenation measurements. Both methods show this quantity to be sma ll, but the accuracy of the methods appears insufficient for more exac t agreement.
