Triafulvalene

Chemical compound

Triafulvalene or cyclopropenylidenecyclopropene is a fulvalene hydrocarbon with chemical formula C6H4, composed of two linked cyclopropene rings. Triafulvalene has never been isolated,[1] since it can decompose via an isodesmic reaction.[2] However, this molecule is of theoretical significance for theoretical organic chemists,[3][why?] and its structure, stability, and spectral properties are well-studied.[citation needed]
