Triafulvalene or cyclopropenylidenecyclopropene is a fulvalene hydrocarbon with chemical formula C6H4, composed of two linked cyclopropene rings. Triafulvalene has never been isolated,[1] since it can decompose via an isodesmic reaction.[2] However, its structure,[3] stability, and spectral properties are well-studied theoretically;[citation needed] the molecule is believed planar.[3]
