Talk:Phanes (organic chemistry)

Latest comment: 15 years ago by Maproom

This article is pretty much incomprehensible, as it stands.

  • Why is the article title in the singular? Can you have one phane?
  • Are all cyclic organics "cyclophanes"? Or does the sentence refer to things like naphthalene?
  • What are the "various cyclophanes"? Is there one cyclophane (or set of cyclophanes) which includes benzene and naphthalene, another which includes all the pyrimidines?

Some examples would be helpful. Maproom (talk) 17:11, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
