Structure Diagram[edit]

The molecular formula says C10, but I count 8 carbons in that structure, looks like two cyclobutanes fused together, which is contrary to the synthesis description which describes it as a dimer of a cyclopentadiene. What gives? --DinkY2K (talk) 06:12, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you look closer at the structure, you will see two other carbon atoms on either side. Each of those carbons appears to be bonded dichloro. There are two cyclopentadiene rings within the structure. -Kpstewart (talk) 23:05, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The two diagrams show different molecules. The lower, colour Ball-and-stick model appears correct to me (with 10 carbon atoms) but the upper, black and white diagram only has 8 carbon atoms drawn as the vertices of a cube. This caught my eye as I've not seen carbon atoms forming a square before. Tantrie (talk) 12:07, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A little out of tone.[edit]

Using 'ironically' in the opening doesn't seem up to snuff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.148.96.101 (talk) 04:28, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
