The enthalpy of formation of diamantane

Diamantane (“congressane”) has been burnt in a static bomb combustion calorimeter. The standard enthalpy of combustion was ΔH° = −(1932.31±0.40) kcal mol−1 which yields a standard enthalpy of formation ΔH°f(C14H20,c) = −(67.55±0.42) kcal mol−1. The molecule would appear to have a similar strain energy to adamantane.
