Cyclobutyne

Cyclobutyne (C4H4) is a hydrocarbon molecule containing a triple bond within a four carbon atom ring.

[1] This cycloalkyne is very unstable due to its high ring strain and has not been isolated in the pure state.

However, osmium coordination complexes containing cyclobutyne have been synthesized.[2][which?]
