Calicene or triapentafulvalene is a hydrocarbon of the fulvalene class with chemical formula C₈H₆, composed of linked a cyclopentadiene ring and a cyclopropene ring.

Properties

A significant resonance effect is differing charge on the two rings, resulting in a highly polar structure.

Very high resonance energy is predicted by Hückel method,[1] however its resonance energy is not high. The central double bond is polarized with a partial positive charge on the carbon atom of triangular ring and a partial negative charge on the carbon atom of pentagonal ring, in keeping with added Hückel's rule stability of rings containing 2 π electrons and 6 π electrons respectively. Calicene's dipole moment has been computed to be 4.66 D.[2] Several compounds that contains two or more calicene subunits are aromatic, such as trans-bicalicene[2] (ring compound) or poly-2,7-[N]calicenes (chain compound)[3]

Despite several attempts to prepare it, the parent calicene has so far defied attempts at synthesis.[4] However, 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexaphenylcalicene has been prepared and an experimental dipole moment of 6.3 D was measured.[5]
