|Section2= |Section3= }} Bullvalene is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C10H10 with the unusual property that the chemical bonds making up the molecule are constantly rearranging as in fluxional molecules. For this reason bullvalene is extensively studied in organic chemistry. ==Origin of the name== The name ''bullvalene'' is derived from the nickname of one the scientists who predicted its properties in 1963 and the underlying concept of valence tautomerism, William "Bull" Doering.〔Author Ault (2001) also suggests the name stems from BS because of an unimpressed grad student〕 According to Klärner in 2011, the weekly seminars organised by Doering were secretly called "Bull sessions" by PhD students and postdocs and "were feared by those who were poorly prepared".〔Klärner, F.-G. (2011), William von Eggers Doering (1917–2011). Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 50: 2885–2886. 〕 The name was bestowed on the molecule, in 1961, by two of Doering's Yale graduate students: Maitland Jones (now at NYU) and Ron Magid (retired from University of Tennessee). The name celebrates Bill Doering's well-known nickname and was chosen to rhyme with fulvalene, a molecule of great interest to the research group.〔Nickon, A.; Silversmith, E. F.
