33. For structures 1 and 2 the cubane cations have inversion symmetry. The unique carbon atoms are labeled as C1, C2, C6, and C8 to facilitate comparisons of meterical parameters with those of other cubane moieties. Thus C1′, C2′, C6′, and C8′ corespond to C4, C7, C3, and C5 in the normal cubane labeling scheme.
