Bullvalene is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₀. The molecule has a cage-like structure formed by the fusion of one cyclopropane and three cyclohepta-1,4-diene rings. Bullvalene is unusual as an organic molecule due to the C−C and C=C bonds forming and breaking rapidly through Cope rearrangements; this property makes it a fluxional molecule.
