In a recent communication1, Wiberg and Walker reported the synthesis of the presumably “superstrained” (1.1.1.) propellane which, according to previous SCP-MO computations by Newton and Schulman2, has no bond linking the bridgehead carbons, but, nonetheless, it is comparatively very stable1. I now show that MOVB theory3,4 easily accounts for these “strange” observations by comparing the electronic structures of the following three molecules.
