AM1 semi-empirical SCF MO calculations for the structure optimization and configurational properties of cyclonona-1,2,4,5,7,8-hexaene 3, its hexamethyl derivative 4 and cyclododeca-1,2,5,6,9,10-hexaene 5 show that the combination of three allenic units of the same chirality yields an enantiomeric pair which is the most stable configuration of 3, 4 and 5.
