Iptycene

An iptycene is an aromatic compound composed of varying number of arene subunits bound to a bridged bicyclo-octatriene core structure.

The first and simplest iptycene molecule is triptycene.

[2] Paul Bartlett's research group developed Clar's method and made the first triptycene.

[3] Following Bertlett's work on triptycene, Hart et al., with acknowledgement to Professor Joel F. Liebman, proposed the trivial name iptycene for this class of molecules.
