Bicalicene is polycyclic hydrocarbon with chemical formula C16H8, composed of linked two cyclopentadiene ring and two cyclopropene ring.[1]

Synthesis

Bicalicene is prepared by treatment of 1,2-bis(tert-butylthio)-3,3-dichlorocyclopropene with cyclopentadiene anion, followed by desulfurizing stannylation with tributyltin hydride and silica gel.[1]

Properties

trans-bicalicene is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with 16 pi electrons due to positive charge on the carbon atom of triangular ring and a negative charge on the carbon atom of pentagonal ring.[2]

cis-bicalicene is an antiaromatic hydrocarbon.[3]
