It was found that the curve of the formation energy dependence on the rotation angle has only one minimum corresponding to the incommensurate structure (structure without translational symmetry).

For the polytwistane structure corresponding to the energy minimum, the electronic band gap and mechanical properties were calculated. The results obtained for Young's moduli and band gap indicate a smooth change in these properties in relatively small ranges upon torsion and axial deformation of the structure.
