Chemistry:Bicyclooctanes
From HandWiki
Bicyclooctanes are bicyclic organic compounds. The parent compounds, which have little significance per se, have the formula C
8H
14. These ring systems have received considerable scrutiny. The parent molecules are all colorless, as expected for saturated hydrocarbons.
