Abstract
Among different possible non-classical structures, the stabilization of half-planar tetracoordinate carbon conformation is believed to be the most difficult one. Herein, we designed three types of half-planar tetracoordinate carbon compounds computationally by employing hybrid stabilization effects of substituents. The axial hydrogens of unstable half-planar methane are substituted with π-acceptor and σ-donor substituents such as -BH2 , -Li and the equatorial substituents selected are a combination of electropositive atoms (σ-donors)/electronegative atoms (σ-acceptors and π-donors). To establish the stabilization factors, we conducted a detailed study on vibrational frequency analysis, molecular orbital analysis (including Natural Bond Orbitals) and electrostatic potential (ESP) analysis of optimized molecular geometries using density functional theory.

Abstract
Tetravinylbenzene 4 was prepared in nearly quantitative yield from commercially available tetrabromobenzene; the improved, one-step procedure now employs Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling conditions. Intermolecular cyclopropanation of 4 with dibromocarbene gave a series of gem-dibromide adducts. Intramolecular cyclopropanation of monoadduct 5, putatively by its methyllithium-generated cyclopropylidene(oid), produced compound 11, which features a highly distorted spiropentane having a C-C-C bond angle of 163.5°. The stability of the reported spiropentanes was investigated using DFT calculations.
