Frequently Asked Question

Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.

If you replace 2 of the carbon atoms in cyclotetrene with nitrogen atoms is the structure planar?

Accepted Answer

Replacing two carbon atoms in cyclotetraene with nitrogen atoms results in a non-planar structure. The presence of the nitrogen atoms disrupts the delocalized pi electron system and introduces a steric hindrance, preventing the molecule from achieving planarity.
