Can the cyclic hexaphosphabenzene (P6) exist?

Abstract
The cyclic P6(2) is predicted to lie 6 kcal mol–1 above the free 3P2 fragments and to decompos to the latter with an energy barrier of 13 kcal mol–1 using ab initio calculations with different basis sets and correlation methods; it is tempting to suggest that (2) might be detected in an inert matrix at low temperatures (1 cal = 4.184 J.)
