Usage
Kenneth Wiberg and Frederick Walker used bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane to make [1.1.1]propellane.[1]
The bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane structure has been used as an unusual bioisostere for a phenyl ring.[2]
gollark: I mostly meant that it is quite complex to make and if you want nicer ones you need to throw even more industry at it.
gollark: At some point you probably hit physical limits and have to expand *slower*, but you aren't forced to stop.
gollark: Sure it is. Just expand more. The universe is quite large.
gollark: The smartphone you're probably sending this from is the product of hundreds of billions of currency units of development and capital investment and probably at least 50 countries worth of supply chain.
gollark: You can't have technology and not have those. Modern stuff is complicated and increasingly so.
