Propalene Explained
Propalene or bicyclo[1.1.0]buta-1,3-diene is a polycyclic hydrocarbon composed of two fused cyclopropene rings.[1] [2] Computational studies indicate that the molecule is planar, with the carbon framework forming a parallelogram that has distinctly alternating short and long carbon–carbon bonds.[3]
