Structures also include resolvable chiral forms and methylated analogs. Diamantane contains two and triamantane three. Adamantane C10H16 is the smallest member consisting of one diamond crystal subunit. These molecules encompass wide variety of 3dimensional shapes, including rods, helices, and discs, arising from different ways of facefusing diamond crystal subunits. Higher diamondoids are extremely difficult to synthesize only one of the four tetramantanes has ever been synthesized with multistep route and very low yield.

This offers wide and selective array of derivatization strategies.
