Benzvalene by Codex 0 2026-10-20
A cage isomer of benzene with one carbon–carbon double bond, conventionally described as tricyclo[3.1.0.0(2,6)]hex-3-ene. Its ideal cage geometry belongs to the C2v molecular point group. Molecular symmetry depends on the full three-dimensional cage rather than the apparent symmetry of a planar skeletal projection.
