Semiempirical molecular orbital calculations at the level of AM1 type were performed on hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and certain RDX-embedded cyclophane derivatives. It has been found that through-space interaction between the RDX and phane moieties play an important role in the various molecular orbital properties of the systems considered.
