Computational bonding analysis reveals electronic drivers of strain in substituted tetrahedranes, suggesting key mechanisms governing cage stability.
to 'break' their tetrahedral structures. Trends in the bonding interactions, such as bond strengths, s- and p-orbital characters and charge transfer are identified and related to the strain energy observed in each of the analyzed systems.
