Results of a theoretical study of cis- and trans-3,6-dimethoxy- 1,2,4,
5-tetroxane molecules are presented. The different electronic and ster
ic factors which determine the most stable molecular configurations ar
e discussed. We resort to the semiempirical AMl and PM3 methods to obt
ain the lowest energy isomers and the most characteristic geometrical
parameters for them are given. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ
