Adamantane, a unique, rigid, and virtually stress-free hydrocarbon, with the closed chemical formula C10H16, was originally discovered and isolated from petroleum fractions of the Hodonín oil eld in Czechoslovakia and reported by Stanislav Landa and his colleagues, at the Twelve Congress of Industrial Chemistry, held on September 25 through October 3, 1932, in Prague, Czechoslovakia, proceedings of which were published later. Later, it was published in Chimie & Industrie [Landa et al. (1933)], which changed name to Chimie et industrie, Génie chimique in 1966.
