Abstract
Highly symmetric aliphatic hydrocarbons such as D(4h)-[4]rotane do not necessarily have degenerate HOMOs. According to our predictions based on high-level computations, its radical cation should display a highly delocalized D(4h)-symmetric structure, in contrast to its Jahn-Teller distorted cousin, the radical cation of [3]rotane, which exists in two distonic localized forms with C(2v) and C(s) symmetry.
