Abstract

A comparative study of the structural parameters in some strained spirohydrocarbons is presented. The theoretical values provided by the STO-3G, MINDO/3 and IMOA methods are in reasonable agreement with each other and with available experimental data offering thus a posteriori justification of the employed approximate schemes.
