Graphical Abstract

Das Tetracyclo[4.2.0.02,4.03,8]oct-7-ylium-Kation ist Ab-initio-Rechnungen zufolge das Produkt der Gasphasenprotonierung von Cuban (1). Auf dem G2(MP2)-Niveau ist die berechnete Gasphasenbasizität von 1 um ca. 60 kcal mol−1 größer als die experimentell bestimmte. Die experimentellen thermodynamischen Daten sind in Einklang mit einer schnellen Deprotonierung von 2 unter Bildung von Cunean (3).
