Gyvnins
Gyvnins are a fictional class of organic compounds used in theoretical and speculative chemistry to illustrate concepts in aromaticity, molecular design, and supramolecular assembly. In this constructed taxonomy, gyvnins are defined by a core framework of fused rings that create a rigid, planar scaffold, often featuring heteroatoms such as nitrogen or oxygen and bearing diverse substituents to modulate solubility and electronic properties.
Etymology and scope. The term gyvin originates from a hypothetical root employed in discussion of novel polycyclic
Structure and properties. Gyvnins are described as highly conjugated, planar molecules with the potential for strong
Synthesis and occurrence. In hypothetical scenarios, gyvnins are assembled through multi-step cyclizations and oxidative closures from
Applications and significance. Gyvnins are used to explore structure–property relationships, planarity effects, and supramolecular organization in
