Dimethanospiro[2.2]octaplane is a hypothetical saturated hydrocarbon that is expected to have a carbon atom in with a stable, unusual square-planar coordination[1] rather than the usual tetrahedral geometry of a carbon atom with four bonds.

Molecular architecture

An octaplane contains a central carbon atom is surrounded by four carbon atoms, which are held in place by perpendicular links to two cyclooctane rings above and below.[2] The parent structure octaplane itself is expected to have a very low ionization potential and a square–planar geometry as the monocation,[2] however calculations on the neutral compound found that the central carbon would distort to a square–pyramidal geometry.[1]

In dimethanospiro[2.2]octaplane, two pairs of the carbons attached to the central one are bonded to each other to make a spiropentane, and there are two methylene linkages between the two cyclooctane rings.[1][3][4]
