FulvaleneFulvalene is an organic compound with the molecular formula C10H8. It is of theoretical interest as one of the simplest non-benzenoid conjugated hydrocarbons. Fulvalene is an unstable isomer of the more common benzenoid aromatic compoundss naphthalene and azulene. It is also known as bicyclopentadienylidene. Additional recommended knowledgeFulvalene consists of two 5-membered rings, each with two double bonds, joined by yet a fifth double bond. It has D2h symmetry. It was long sought until 1958 when it was synthesized at Yale University by E. A. Matzner, working under W. von Doering.[1] Perchlorofulvalene C10Cl8 is quite stable in contrast to the hydrocarbon.[2]. Tetrathiafulvalene is an organic semiconductor. Fulvalene as a ligand in organometallic chemistryFulvalene forms stable organometallic complexes that can be formally considered derivatives of the dianion C10H82-. [3] Some such fulvalene complexes undergo reversible C-C bond scission.[4]
