Fulvenes
Fulvenes are the class of hydrocarbon obtained by formally cross-conjugating one ring and methylidene through a common exocyclic double bond.[1][2]
The name is derived from the fulvene. which has one pentagonal ring. Pentafulvene is also called simply fulvene, the parent structure of this class.
Fulvenes are isomer of annulene.
