Structures, energies, and vibrational frequencies have been calculated for two C 50 H 40 isomers with three dodecahedrane cages sharing two pentagons at the B3LYP/6‐31G* level of theory. Thus, two C 50 H 40 isomers have the form of coplanar tri‐dodecahedrane‐cage molecules. The symmetry of one isomer is D 5 d and that of another is C 2 V . Heats of formation and vertical ionization energies for two C 50 H 40 isomers have been estimated in this study. Heats of formation as well as vibrational analysis indicate that two C 50 H 40 isomers enjoy sufficient stability to allow for its experimental preparation. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
