Strained bonding has always fascinated me. Cyclopropane and cubane being some of my favorites.
Anyone managed to make Thiotimoline? ![:D](./images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

It has the most strained chemical bonds of any substance known or unknown.

It's ficticious??
Strained compounds.... isn't octanitrocubane a rather interesting specimen?
Or i.e. ethylene epoxide? There's a thread on this somewhere. Ah, BromicAcid helped me, it's here!

Yah, of course its fictitious. How else could you have a compound that dissolves exactly 1.3 seconds before the water is added?
I was in an Isaac Asimov kind of mood that day.
Guess this would better belong in Whimsy. Ah well.
