✦ Synopsis
The photolysis of 34cyclophane 5 in H20-saturated CH2Clz produced the novel polycyclic caged diol 6 with a pentacyclo[6.3.1.16,1°.03,7.04,1°]dodecane skeleton 4, which has abnormally elongated C--C single bonds (1.624/k). The structural features of 6 were studied using the X-ray structural analysis and ab initio MO calculations.

Prismanes constitute a fascinating family of (CH) n polyhedra, [1] several members of which, namely, prismane, [2] cubane, [3] and pentaprismane, [4, have been successfully synthesized. Recently, attention has focused on the challenging objective of synthesizing the higher prismanes, in particular,
