Cyclooctane is a cycloalkane with the molecular formula (CH 2) 8. [2] It is a simple colourless hydrocarbon , but it is often a reference compound for saturated eight-membered ring compounds in general.
Because the orbital symmetry of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) in the excited diene is the same as that of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) in another ground state diene, they are able to form an exciplex that decays to form the closed cyclooctane ring structure.
1,3,5,7-Cyclooctatetraene (COT) is an unsaturated derivative of cyclooctane, with the formula C 8 H 8.It is also known as [8]annulene.This polyunsaturated hydrocarbon is a colorless to light yellow flammable liquid at room temperature.

Possible isomers of cyclooctene. Cyclooctene is the cycloalkene with a formula C 8 H 14.Its molecule has a ring of 8 carbon atoms, connected by seven single bonds and one double bond.
Cyclooctene undergoes ring-opening metathesis polymerization to give polyoctenamers, which are marketed under the name Vestenamer. [3]cis-Cyclooctene (COE) is a substrate known for quite selectively forming the epoxide, as compared to other cycloalkenes, e.g. cyclohexene.
The alkyne region of the structure attempts to adopt a linear molecular geometry, but the nature of the ring creates substantial ring strain. As a result, cyclooctyne and other compounds containing this ring structure readily react in ways that reduce the ring strain by converting the alkyne to a functional group that does not require linear ...
The Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) is a specification in the form of a line notation for describing the structure of chemical species using short ASCII strings. SMILES strings can be imported by most molecule editors for conversion back into two-dimensional drawings or three-dimensional models of the molecules.
