The spherical structure of dodecahedranes can be varied by replacing the individual CC moieties of the skeleton by C(O)C groups. This enabled the synthesis of the highly symmetric diolefin 1 , whose small π/π* distance manifests itself, inter alia, in a long wavelength UV absorption. The more severely strained diene 2 could not by prepared.
