    In Her Line of Fire (also known as Air Force Two) is a 2006 American action film directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith and starring Mariel Hemingway, David Keith, David Millbern and Jill Bennett. In Her Line of Fire opened in limited release in the United States on April 21, 2006.

  3. Clar's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clar's_rule

    Fusing angular rings around a benzene moiety leads to an increase in stability. The Clar structure of anthracene , for instance, has only one π-sextet but, by moving one ring into the angular position, phenanthrene is obtained, the Clar structure of which carries two circles instead of one.

  4. Hexacene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexacene

    Hexacene is an aromatic compound consisting of six linearly-fused benzene rings. It is a blue-green, air-stable solid with low solubility. [1]Hexacene is one of a series of linear polycyclic molecules created by such aromatic ring fusions, a series termed acenes; the previous in the series is pentacene (with five fused rings) and the next is heptacene (with seven).

  5. Cyclophane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclophane

    The driving force for ring-opening and polymerization is strain relief. The reaction is believed to be a living polymerization due to the lack of competing reactions. Because the two benzene rings are in close proximity this cyclophane type also serves as guinea pig for photochemical dimerization reactions as illustrated by this example: [ 21 ]

  6. Ring strain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_strain

    In alkanes, optimum overlap of atomic orbitals is achieved at 109.5°. The most common cyclic compounds have five or six carbons in their ring. [6] Adolf von Baeyer received a Nobel Prize in 1905 for the discovery of the Baeyer strain theory, which was an explanation of the relative stabilities of cyclic molecules in 1885.

  7. Hexafluorobenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexafluorobenzene

    Hexafluorobenzene stands somewhat aside in the perhalogenbenzenes. If a perhalogenated benzene ring were to remain planar, then geometric constraints would force adjacent halogens closer than their associated nonbonding radius. Consequently the benzene ring buckles, reducing p-orbital overlap and aromaticity to avoid the steric clash ...

  8. 2-Carboxybenzaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Carboxybenzaldehyde

    2-Carboxybenzaldehyde is a chemical compound.It consists of a benzene ring, with an aldehyde and a carboxylic acid as substituents that are ortho to each other. The compound exhibits ring–chain tautomerism: the two substituents can react with each other to form 3-hydroxyphthalide, a cyclic lactol.

  9. Hexazine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexazine

    Hexazine (also known as hexaazabenzene) is a hypothetical allotrope of nitrogen composed of 6 nitrogen atoms arranged in a ring-like structure analogous to that of benzene. As a neutrally charged species, it would be the final member of the azabenzene (azine) series, in which all of the methine groups of the benzene molecule have been replaced ...
