Abstract
MNDO, AM1 and PM3 semi-empirical SCF MO calculations are used to calcu late the structure optimization and configurational properties of cycl ododeca-1,2,4,5,7,8,10, 11-octaene (1) and its octamethyl derivative ( 2); the combination of four allenic units of the same chirality yields an enantiomeric pair of D-4 symmetry, which is the most stable config uration of 1 and 2.
