()Radialenes are alicyclic organic compounds containing n cross-conjugated exocyclic double bonds.〔〔〔〔 The double bonds are commonly alkene groups but those with a carbonyl (C=O) group are also called radialenes.〔 For some members the unsubstituted parent radialenes are elusive but many substituted derivatives are known. Radialenes are related to open-chain dendralenes and also to compounds like butadiene and benzene which also consist of a ring of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms. Radialenes are investigated in organic chemistry for their unusual properties and reactivity but have not ventured outside the laboratory. Reported uses are as experimental building blocks for novel organic conductors and ferromagnets.〔 The first radialene called ''hexaethylidencyclohexane'' was synthesised in 1961.〔 ==Conformation== () and ()radialenes are expected to have a planar molecular geometry with all carbon atoms in the same plane. This is verified experimentally in ''hexamethyl()radialene'' and ''cyclobutanetetraonetetrakis(hydrazone)''. ''Decamethyl()radialene'' has a twist envelope geometry with C2 symmetry while a chair conformation is calculated for ()radialene and found experimentally for ''hexa-(ethylidene)cyclohexane'' Due to their specific pi-electron distributions, hydrocarbons such as perylene and triphenylene are not considered radialenes. One study 〔 describes a ()radialene composed of thiophene units:〔 : This compound is reported as planar with D3h symmetry (X-ray diffraction) but not aromatic: the carbon-carbon bond lengths are unusually long (145 pm vs. 140 pm for benzene) and the calculated NICS value is close to zero. 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「radialene」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
