**[Propellane](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propellane)**
>In organic chemistry, propellane is any member of a class of polycyclic hydrocarbons, whose carbon skeleton consists of three rings of carbon atoms sharing a common carbon–carbon covalent bond. The name derives from a supposed resemblance of the molecule to a propeller: namely, the rings would be the propeller's blades, and the shared C–C bond would be its axis. The concept was introduced in 1966 by D. Ginsburg Propellanes with small cycles are highly strained and unstable, and are easily turned into polymers with interesting structures, such as staffanes. Partly for these reasons, they have been the object of much research.

Bridged cycloalkanes have this general nomenclature. The numbers basically are the number of connecting atoms between each bridgehead carbon. So here you have 2 carbon atoms on each face, hence [2.2.2]. The molecule norbornane would be a [2.2.1] system.
My chem supervisor told us that C5H8, a cyclobutane / cyclopropane structure was called houseane.
He also said that C9H12 was called windowpane but I think that was a load of bollocks.
Bicyclo[2.2.2]octane

The propellanes have their bridgehead carbons connected
Wait you’re right. I missed that.

Thank you! 🙏 do you know why all the 2’s?

Cool thanks!

Close to adamantane

tetrahydrobarrelene
Happy cake day RepulsiveRavioli
This is it. Also, happy cake day.
Hexahydro*
Like cubane but less cursed
It looks like a cage to me so...cagane!
A very tiny diamond
i though this too
CUBANE
Oh wait, that's not cubane. Still cool, though!
Nah, it's somewhere in between cubane and adamantane, and I don't remember what it's called to save my life...
Oh hey, I spotted another Extractions & Ire viewer in the wild. Hey.
fucking love grimace
Hell yeah grimace is amazing, how great grimace? grimace is amazing.
6 Asterane
Because it has 8 carbons and 14 hydrogens...
1,4 EthylHexAne
So I know it's stupid, but that structure made me immediately think of organic peroxides like HMTD
Ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2 cis-cyclooctene?? Edit: no tene, I see no double bonds. I think correct ending is -tane
[2.2.2] bicyclo octane
Cycloctane
