Annulenes are completely conjugated monocyclic hydrocarbons. They have the general formula CnHn (when ''n'' is an even number) or CnHn+1 (when ''n'' is an odd number). The IUPAC naming conventions are that annulenes with 7 or more carbon atoms are named as ()annulene, where ''n'' is the number of carbon atoms in their ring, though sometimes the smaller annulenes are referred to using the same notation, and benzene is sometimes referred to simply as annulene.〔Ege, S. (1994) ''Organic Chemistry:Structure and Reactivity'' 3rd ed. D.C. Heath and Company〕〔Dublin City University ''(Annulenes )''〕 The first three annulenes are cyclobutadiene, benzene, and cyclooctatetraene (()annulene). Some annulenes, namely cyclobutadiene, cyclodecapentaene or ()annulene, cyclododecahexaene or ()annulene and cyclotetradecaheptaene (()annulene), are unstable, with cyclobutadiene extremely so. Annulenes may be ''aromatic'' (benzene, ()annulene, cyclooctadecanonaene or () annulene), ''non-aromatic'' (()annulene), or ''anti-aromatic'' (cyclobutadiene, ()annulene). Only cyclobutadiene and benzene are fully planar, though () and ()annulene with all trans double bonds (placing the hydrogens inside the ring) can achieve the planar conformation needed for aromaticity, with () and ()annulene following Hückel's rule with 4n+2 π electrons. ()annulene does exhibit some ring strain due to steric hindrance. Many of the larger annulenes, ()annulene for example, are large enough to minimize the van der Waals strain of internal hydrogens and thermodynamically qualify as aromatic. However, none of the larger annulenes are as stable as benzene, as their reactivity more closely resembles a conjugated polyene than an aromatic hydrocarbon. In annulynes, one double bond is replaced by an alkyne bond. ==Gallery== File:Cyclobutadiene structure.svg|Cyclobutadiene (()annulene) File:Benzol.svg|Benzene (()annulene) File:Cyclooctatetraen.svg|Cyclooctatetraene (()annulene) File:(14)Annulene.svg|Cyclotetradecaheptaene (()annulene) File:(18)Annulene.svg|Cyclooctadecanonaene (()annulene) File:Cyclodocosahendecaene.svg|Cyclodocosahendecaene (()-annulene) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Annulene」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
